Jesus invented Christmas for indoor gardening…or something
Переглядів 61Місяць тому
Jesus gave Christmas Day off or our stupid jobs so we could ravenously consume worthless consumer products that will no doubt fill up any remaining green space on our planet. And also to do indoor gardening things. So this week, my Christmas gift to you is a tour of what’s happening in my tiny little garden and offer a couple tips to make your indoor gardening life a little easier. Thanks for w...

A better way to spend Saturday

Shortly after God invented the constitution and guns, He invented a day called Saturday. His intent was to have humans take a day every week to do something actually productive to build better lives for themselves, their families, and communities. Instead, we tend to spend Saturday shoveling as much consumer product as we can in our mouth holes hoping it will make our bodies feel like Christmas...
3 big objections to indoor urban gardening

All from the same container without going through the growing pains of young adulthood. Because young adults are ass...

    Good info! I tried to grow carrots in Kratky, cut the net pots so they could expand as the carrots grew. But after almost a year all I got was fat 3" carrots that were green. Someone warned me not to eat green carrots so I tossed them out and gave up. Your method looks like it'll actually work! (Never heard of olla bottles, cool!)

    Any recommendation for an aftermarket replacement water pump for the Gardyn 4.0 system, that isn’t $50 made in China one that Gardyn sells?

    • @hydrosolo69
      @hydrosolo69 28 днів тому

      The pump in mine, the one in the video, blew out a few years ago. I ordered a replacement from Gardyn but trying to connect it under the lid, I broke the fragile connector thing. So I had to order a brand new top, which is what's in the video. I assume it's version 4.0, but not quite sure. I did try a cheap pump I had that was powerful enough to pump the 4+ vertical feet or whatever, which worked OK, but getting the tubing to seat properly on the pump was always a struggle so I gave up. Also, using an aftermarket pump that isn't wired to the app, you'll lose programmability, which was another pain in the ass for me.

    What kinda herbs?! A buddy of mine grew some auto flowering cannabis in his aero garden before I met him. I got him growing good plants in a tent now but he said he did get a little harvest from the machine in his kitchen window with the light too. I could see using one for clones to get them rooted. When I get my own place I would definitely be interested in growing my salads in something like that or in a little aquaponics system. If you don't know about aquaponics it's awesome. It's like hydroponics but it has fish in a tank and their waste feeds bacteria that makes the waste into plant food. I loved my aquaponics systems and can't wait to do it again.

    maybe oiya isn't suitable for indoor gardening, normally plant needs totally dried soil before you soak its soil again, just like my orchids. if u soak it 24/7, it will get root rot. oiya provides non-stop wet soil. all you need is an automated watering system.

      Thanks for the tip. I mean, I've just been pouring gallons of water in the ollas and hoping for the best. More is better, right? That's what my grandma used to say, referring my grandpas "underwear squirrel." I never figured out what that meant. Also, good luck with the whole starving your plants of water and vital nutrients thing. I hear it's a solid strategy, but it's never really worked for me. Don't forget to subscribe!

      That is correct. They are sentenced to a life in a bag without parole. Depends on the variety on how large they will get, but this variety will be about medium size (6 to 8 inches or so).
