The system is just an assortment of parts from Home Depot more or less.
The system is designed to take plants to harvest, but I also use it to get my spring starters going which is the task this weekend.
I do add nutrients to the water, and it sprays on a 30 second on, and 5 minute off cycle. First time doing tomatoes, did peppers as a test a few months ago.
after walking away from my comment, i thought about a scandinavian gardener that i follow and how it would be impossible to garden the way i do if i lived further north.
here, i would never be able to grow aubergines, peanuts unless i use a greenhouse (i don’t. needs too much care in the summer)
good luck to you
It’s all good, I wish I could grow more outside and do compost or even a no-till style garden as well, there’s just too much going on in my life.
Ideally I would like a greenhouse or even a hot house so it can be outside in natural light and I could grow all year as well.
It’s interesting that some places even have microclimates, gourds can be grown in a couple communities around my city, I’m not one of them since I’m down in a valley. Although I’m going to try again to make pumpkins for the kids to Halloween, but… that’s 6-8 weeks past first frost. If you cover them every night you can get a couple more weeks as well though.
