This is a survivalist-related question.
If trying to become self-reliant and grow your own food, I understand aeroponics and hydroponics would be the most productive methods. However there is no soil to slowly release nutrients for plants. You have to supply store-bought nutrient mixes and drop them in the water. When the store runs out (or when you run out of money to pay for it) all your garden dies almost instantly.
Can one feasibly supply a plant’s macro and micro-nutrient needs by concocting home-brew nutrient solutions from organic matter at hand?
P.S. I have a strong feeling you can’t. But I couldn’t find a complete and clear answer.

www.advancednutrients.com presents Hydroponics Secrets with Erik Biksa. What are the best organic plant nutrients with hydroponics growlights?
www.advancednutrients.com mixing hydroponics nutrients, presents Erik Biksa discussing the importance of mixing hydroponics nutrients & additives in correctly for hydro and organics.
Visit us online at www.thegrowshow.org Don’t be fooled by imitations. Don’t be fooled by high price lines. What you’re looking at here is a 3.5 gallon bucket, a 10 inch net pot, a single air pump, a pack of rock wool, some air tubing, an air pump and your hydroton. What we have here is everything you need to do a simple, one-piece hydroponic, deep water culture unit. A base deep water culture system starts out easy and simple like this You have a 3.5 gallon bucket, a nice little net pot that holds the hydroton, a piece of rockwool to wick-up the water, and underneath is an airstone to get the water nutrients bubbling up to the plant. Here we have a 70 liter airpump. This will power the airstone that bubbles the water and nutrients up to meet the rock wool and the medium, pulling up water and oxygen for the rooting system. Today we have a 70 liter high-output active aqua airpump. This one can power up to eight buckets. We have it going on three today. The roots grow down into the water, then are fed with nutrients via the airpump. The nutrients uptake through the root system that are being constantly misted at the bottom. When a younger plant is started, you are required to have more water in the reservoir to hit the rockwool and create a wicking activity and bring water and nutrients to the plant. As the plant grows a little bit larger, you get the luxury for the roots growing down into the water and you can have a slightly lower reservoir, but you still want a good …

Hi, my name is Alex and you’re here at the Grow Show today. We’re going to be talking about simple nutrient lines. We’re going to start with General Hydroponics. This is a three part based nutrient. You need all three of these to start. A percentage of each one of these will be going into your nutrient solution, creating a perfect balance of nutrients for your plant substrate. We’ll start out with FloraGro, FloraMicro and FloraBloom. These will give you all the essential elements your plants will need for continual growth in hydroponic or soil systems. This is a three part line that starts with a base and can be expanded to a six part line. The six part line includes FloraBlend which is a Vegan Plant Booster, Liquid Kool Bloom for fruit and flower development and Floralicious Plus for an organic boost enhancement. For a super boost, you’re looking for products like Sub Culture – B and Sub – Culture M. These are root inoculants that promote large root development. Bigger roots equal bigger plants. This entire line of General Hydroponics is available in all sizes ranging from pints all the way through gallons, two and a halfs and six gallon bottles. This is all available at our Ann Arbor store location at 4095 Stone School Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan or on the web TheGrowShow.org.

ok – on my way to work,i pass a decent sized graveyard – in the middle of it is a vegetable garden with a fence around it – the fence seperates the garden from the gravestones,by about 6-12 inches,and it is surrounded – odd huh,why would you do that? and – who eats the vegetables,because they are getting nutrients from the dead bodies obviously – that is gross to me. it is a lush garden tho…
what do you think? and,would you eat the vegetables?

After the 1st week update on our 1st vertical plant tower and showing the 2nd vertical tower of our hydroponic window farm that we just put plants in. Our hydroponic window farm is located in our apartment sliding glass door area somewhere in Texas 
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 …

The initial setup and after planting in the 1st vertical tower of our hydroponic window farm. Our hydroponic window farm is located in our apartment sliding glass door area somewhere in Texas 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 What we are using: – Petco 9904 Air Pump(4 air outlets and kit includes one-way air valves) – 1 Gallon or more reservior(8L or about 2 gallons in my case) – Various surgical type tubing, but most importantly reinforced tubing for bringing water from the reservior to the top to prevent kinking in the line – Wooden dowel to attach 1.5L plastic water bottles to – Sports ball air needles (1 for each air line coming from Petco air pump) – 3″ net cups for plants – Hydroton(or equivalent) expanded clay pellets for growing medium – 4ft 54W flourescent light bulb w/ ballast and reflector(reshaped to redirect near 180 degrees on one side) – Timer for light to keep it on 8-12hrs(depends on cycle of plants and natural light availability) – Water(Qualtify makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE). Get Reverse Osmosis water if at all possible or something equivalent. Make sure PH is right(between 5.5 and 6.5) and it’s pure. – Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow Nutrients(Organic) for all …
