Hello all I saw a method for no till gardening in a mother earth book that has worked good for me. I bought bags of topsoil, punctured lots of holes in one side, flipped that side on bottom for drainage. Cut out top of bag, and planted 4 plants per bag. Used landscaper fabric and mulch...

they are partially shaded for half the day, full sun the rest. Would partial shading make a big difference?

Hello all here is a timeline of one of the hydroponic systems I have. These are 12 tomato plants, celebrity, cherokee purple, big boy, arkansas traveler, and german johnson. Bought at walmart, two of each in 6 bato buckets. It covers almost a 60 day time span. As I am very new to gardening, is...

Yes, it is possible. However, it will be expensive. Most people do a cost analysis and see how long it will take to pay back...expample. If your light bill is $200 per month, that would be $2400 per year. If going all solar would cost $24000, you would be looking at a 10 year payback on your...

I used a make up brush, and did it by hand, and gently shook blooms. Fruit formed, was just not very big, or in enough amounts. It just seemed like something was holding them back.

Excellent point ~gd As my setup is outside, with no way to concentrate CO or air, I am limited to what I can add to water for a little boost. A lot of the hydroponics is geared toward or comes from...indoor growth of shall we say, something besides veggies ;) Another way to generate CO is to...

in my earlier post, I neglected to mention that I have 6 separate hydroponic systems going, inside a hoop house. So that nutrient seemed to last a pretty long time, considering hydro plants get large....fast. As they do, they use more and more water/nutrient mix, and at higher concentrations...

thanks for the warm welcome! This is my second season of any kind of gardening, and with hydro as well. I read some e books, and researched online, and jumped in. I have been trying different systems and methods to see what works best for me, and I like to tinker and build and try new ideas. I...

I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, peppers, and some flowers hydroponically. I am new to the hobby, and gardening in general, so still experimenting with what works and what does not. I uploaded pictures but I am new here also, and I think I have to have 10 posts before they can be seen, so...

Hello all we have been experiencing very hot weather for a long stretch, and even though hydroponic plants are either in water or their roots are covered frequently with water, the heat takes it toll. My local farm supply sells hydrogen peroxide at 35 percent concentration. The hotter it is...

Good looking dog you got there, looks smart: :D congrats

Hello My name is Steve, I live in Northern Arkansas. I have a rural piece of land I live on. I am new to this forum, and I am new to gardening and self reliance. I am here to learn, have an open mind, and look forward to interacting with everyone.

]Hello I am new here, recommended by a friend. This is my second year of growing with hydroponics and soil, and i have had very good luck so far. It is recommended you change out the water for the hydro system every 7 to 10 days, and I use this waste water, which is very rich in nutrients, to...
