Last year my wife and I planted some tomatoes and herbs, which we’ve already started in our home this year as well. We’re going to try a couple new things this year with planting broccoli and sqaush (crookneck) seeds, but need some tips from you green thumbs out there. Any help would be great!
Live in the mountains in Maryland – it’s still cold and we have frost every morning – I wasn’t going to start the broccoli seed inside, but rather plant directly in our garden – However if we do that, then we won’t be planting the seeds for several weeks (due to the frost)
thank you ranger dan – very informative
We are very excited to see how our hydroponic window farm turns out and learn from our experiences. We want to use our knowledge we gain from this to setup a much larger aquaponics setup(aquaculture + hydroponics) down the road when we move into a house. For more information on window farms, please visit www.windowfarms.org Please see our first video for a better description of the materials used to build our hydroponic window farm. Changes we made to improve the system: – Made wooden dowels holding plant containers stand without being attached to the reserviors via L brackets used for mounting shelves to a wall and hooks driven into the end of each wooden dowel to ‘hook’ to the end of the L bracket. The weight of the hydroponic plant container structure rests on the bottom of the wooden dowel and the hook/L bracket assembly on the top simply prevents it from tipping. – Modified the size of the holes in the caps of the water bottles(didn’t mention this in the video). Some people don’t use the caps that came with the bottles, but I do with a small hole cut out in the middle of each to streamline the flow of the water and to help keep it from splashing out of the containers. – Changed out all of the water from city tap water …
