Hello from Scotland - July 14th, 2005 at 04:56 AM
Hi,
I live in Dumbarton, Scotland which is close to Glasgow and a short drive from Loch Lomond.
I'm an inventor, very occasional gardener but keen grower of all kinds of houseplants.
My background is in polymer chemistry and I worked in research for more than 20 years developing novel polymers mostly for medical applications but also sensors, membrane separation processes, controlled delivery of active agents and more.
One of my hobbies is cooking and especially with fresh kitchen herbs. I had developed a technique for watering herbs always from below. I did this to quite a strict regime with some success. One day I had a Eureka moment and applied my expertise to develop a controlled watering system based on special hydrogel membrane diffusion technology (sorry!). After great success with herbs especially basil I now look after lots of houseplants.
I have a daughter, Rose, 4, and a son Peter, 8 months. Married to Ellen, who is an educational psychologist - and very patient!
