Now that we have Grow 3 coming to an end, harvesting lettuces, basil, and parsley (wish I could say tomatoes) from Grow 2, it is now time to start planning Grow 4.
We have chosen Rockwool cubes (based on tests in Grow 3) for all future germinations. We have decided to plant the following:
2 Cucumbers (new plant for us)
2 Red Shard (new plant for us)
2 White Eggplant (new plant for us)
1 Spinach (from a new seed packet)
2 Leeks
2 Romaine Lettuce
2 Fennel
2 Mint (new plant for us)
We trust our lettuce consumption will keep pace and that we will have a supply of basil from Grow 2 and Grow 3. As we continue to understand germination, vegetative and generative stage durations for these plants in our various systems we will hopefully have "complete" salads, vegetables, and herbs for our family needs.
Practicing Hydroponics illustrates and documents the implementation of theory and products available to hydroponic gardeners through a "live" personal grow room. My approach to vegetable gardening in this environment came from research conducted on the internet; through reading books; and the knowledge gained though visits to local stores specializing in hydroponics. I happily share my mistakes and success in order to provide you with how I put theory into Practicing Hydroponics!
