I also need information on hydro containers.

Are the tubes empty after the watering ?
I thought the roods are always in the water

Hey Roland, yes, exactly. Up here it gets quite hot in summer during the day hence the regular watering and at night it cools quite a lot plus there is a lack of sun to dry up the roots too much.

Why are you running the pump in different cycles

Hiya Roland, the plants are only 15mm closer than recommended on the packs, but if they get to big, i can easily transplant them the upper level, plenty of room still. The pineapples will take a year or so to get much bigger, but they are used to growing on top of each other

As for my tubes, well that was 3rd time lucky. I started off with…[Read more]

That’s my basic potting mixture
20 % lava 10-20 mm
10 % perlite
25 % clay a light one not the heavy one
25 % peat
10 % sand
and 10% compost

1 m³ in every 20 cm deep raised bed

Roland

Looks GREAT Roland. What combination of mediums are you using? I can see some perlite and some clay balls.
Cheers

The world looks different today
The fog is gone
The sun comes up:face-smile:

U used the same idea as I do
but I made a little raised beds

I just planted garlics a week ago
The first ones planted a few weeks ago are popping up
the last bed is for all different Allium’s

The rest from the garden is “under construction”:face-devil-grin:

Roland

LOL Roland ……. it’s in the 3rd pic. Have a good sleep mate and have another look :p

I don’t see a sunken catch tank:face-devil-grin:

This is my original garden. After the white moth got to it, their eggs hatched one day and the next morning the broccoli and lettuce looked like this…… this is now the base for my greenhouse!
