Growing fruits and vegetables on a trellis like this gives the plants more air, which reduces disease and pest problems. This is one idea you can try at home pretty easily!

Plants for space research! How cool is that? Ideally, some day the astronauts on the Space Station will be able to grow their own food.
Since I wasn't taking notes, I had intended to do some reading up to supplement these pictures. I quickly realized that I would be getting most of my information about the Epcot Experimental Greenhouse from this post at Inhabitat, particularly because Jill had a chance to do the Behind the Seeds tour, and I did not. So instead I invite you to head over there for more pictures and detailed information about the pros and cons of what Disney is doing here. It's very interesting!
