Hydroponic's

[MeAgain]

How very interesting. This is something I’ve never tried but find fascinating. Your plants looks amazing.
See! You are an interesting person.
I love gardening and while I don’t grow hydroponics I do have a greenhouse and enjoy growing

How did you get into hydroponics?
What advantage do think hydroponics have over regular gardening with soil or soiless mixes?
What types of things do you grow?
How do you store the things you grow?
Do you can some and freeze some?

LOL, no none of that Keesha.

We started with Aquaponics and koi and goldfish. Down here the heat and humidity was just too much for the pond to stay clear with out lots of work or chemicals which we don't do. Plus if you use fish to fertilize you have to add chelated iron.
So we just went into hydro.

We grow mostly tomatoes [ yes one year we did can some of those.]. Also lettuce, peppers, squash ,cabbage but we prefer to grow mostly tomatoes and the other mostly in containers.

That is a very nice looking GH . Our first one was a plastic hoop house but it worked just not to pretty,lol.

For those who want to start a hydro system I'd say start out small. Once set up it pretty much takes care of itself if you use a timer which of course that is mandatory for most bucket types.

i can help with setting it up and the fertilizer ratios.

Haha. Well I’m licensed and it’s legal here in Canada now anyway. Anyone can grow it now.
Gosh. You’re a smart cookie MeAgain. We had a big pond once and added 100 small goldfish which turned into huge fish. It was really fun. Tomatoes are fun to grow.

Thanks . I’ve always wanted a greenhouse and it was fun to make too. I can start my seeds really early since it’s somewhat insulated. We are in a 4 gardening zone so it really extends the season.
I’m very interested in this thread.
