So I haven't posted anything in a while. A few small projects have been put together here and there and I do need to get them posted up. But I have decided since I had a little extra $$ I would start a hydroponic garden. I've been planning and trying to get ideas for a while now. I first got interested in hydroponics when I came across a project someone had done in AZ called the Garden Pool. Basically they turned an old empty pool into a whole aeroponic/hydroponic garden space.
Right now I have a small Deep Water Box for my desk which will be holding a small herb garden and maybe a strawberry plant. I started everything about a week ago and will have pics posted tomorrow on current plants that have sprouted.
I'll have a couple more posts with this one that will have information on setting up the Deep Water Box and the Mini Greenhouses I put together. I thought maybe posting here would be good because I've seen a few of us who are in apartments or rented spaces who would like a way to plant items and have vegetables freshly grown. I'm hoping to have a bigger setup someday but we are thinking of moving in the next year and I need to keep the systems small and simple. Hopefully on top of the Deep Water I'll eventually be able to do a Drip bucket for larger plants like tomatos.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this and get some ideas. Eventually I'd like to bring in my love of computers and go full out Ardunio/Raspberry Pi controlled systems.
