The wick-raft method is a simple and obvious hydroponic technique to grow vegetable or flower plants. This method uses a small amount of potting soil and a larger amount of water to grow plants. This technique is simple because no pumps or electricity are needed. It is an “off-the-grid” system that can be set up wherever the sun shines. It is an inexpensive system because the materials used are inexpensive or simply recycled from materials around your home. It works fine outdoors, inside a greenhouse, or under lights in a garage or classroom. Use tap water or rain water to grow your plants. Fertilizer, conventional or organic, can be added to the water or to the potting soil. If the fertilizer is added to the potting soil, there is no need to manage the water pH with a pH meter. Plus, it is not necessary to manage the concentration of fertilizer, electrical conductivity, in the water with a conductivity meter.
Sir Robert Anderson was born in Dublin, Ireland and was of Scottish descent. His father was an elder in the Irish Presbyterian Church and he was raised in a religious home. Anderson's conversion took place after listening to a sermon delivered by John Hall.
Sir Robert Anderson graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, in 1862 and was called to the Irish Bar in 1863. He later became Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department at Scotland Yard. When he retired in 1901, he was made Knight Commander of the the Order of the Bath. W. H. Smith, on the floor of the House of Commons, said Sir Robert "had discharged his duties with great ability and perfect faithfulness to the public."
Sir Robert Anderson was the chief inspector for Scotland Yard. He was greatly respected for his skill as an investigator. When Anderson wasn't writing on subjects related to crime, he wrote books on Christian prophecy. He helped establish the fact that 69 of Daniel's 70 weeks have now transpired, and that the tribulation will be the 70th week. Sir Robert Anderson's book, The Coming Prince, has become a foundational resource for all dispensationalists.
