Log Book for May 6, 2006
GreenHab Report
John Dowding Reporting

Water Meter Reading: 10644.5
GreenHab Out: 3112.5
GreenHab In: 17912.9

The plants remain in fairly good health, although some of the pea plants and lettuce plants appear to be getting worse. We enjoyed some of the chives with our dinner on Thursday night.

Plants in Good Health: Unknown, (4) mint, (5) nasturcium, (6) tomatoes, (7) peas, (8) lettuce, (9) chives, (10) mint

Plants in Poor Health: (1) lettuce, (2) spinach, (3) lettuce

The odor situation is much improved. I cleaned the toilet tank today (wearing full body armor) with soap and bleach. I had a short-term issue around 10am when turning the TST pump back on where the toilet floater got stuck, and toilet was flushing continuously. This led to a drain on the TST, leading to a drain in Tank 5, to less than 1/2 full. By 5:00 pm, the water level in Tank 5, the TST, and the other tanks all appeared normal.

This is John Dowding, signing off, and wishing Crew 50 good luck, good odor, and good eating.
