Microgravity crops

On the way Arizona (not Thanga) posted another note on microgravity crops. THAT, I'll take seriously.

I expect us monkeys will be living on the outer edge of the tin cans. Suppose, though, our cans aren't the rim of a wheel; suppose they're a big cylinder. We'll have lower gravity hubward. Be nice to use the space for something since we're not living there. I mean other than the sort of fun monkeys might get up to in low gravity for ten minutes at a time . . .

Also what if we have tied these spinning habitats onto an asteroid. Maybe the asteroid's surface could be purposed for farming - again, because we're not living there.

Food in microgravity (or an asteroid's milligravity) also may get bacteria.
