“This set up requires about 20 sq ft of space. There is a small electrical pump which could run off solar but you can also run them manually, without a pump.”
All right, all right, you gardening “freaks” just won’t let up. :o) Yes, I need to do something about it.
driftdiver; This would have to happen outside, not inside. Do you know of a good book that describes how to do this? I don’t have a clue. Unless you are willing to come to Texas to set this up, HELP ME FIND OUT HOW.
Outside is fine too, you’d just need to worry a little more about bugs.
I got my stuff from a local gardening freak so I dont have a book handy but will look. There is A TON of information online about hydroponics although half of it seems to be marketed to people growing pot.
the ones I like are vertical and take up less space. There are also flat ones which just lay out on the ground.
driftdiver, you are up now. I don’t know much beyond what I saw in some video my daughter insisted I look at. I’ll ask her what it was when she gets here. It was more of a look what can be done to inspire people than a how to.
Marcella, it’s not necessarily just an outdoor proposition. When I first started to research growing stuff indoors, I came up with all sorts of unique ways of secretly growing stuff indoors with hydroponics. Including hidden closets, fake speakers and consoles. LOL
It wasn’t the kind of crop or growing medium that I was looking for so I didn’t do much reading. But hey it might make more sense when SHTF.
A garden outdoors can be seen and coveted. An indoor hydroponic with grow lights on batteries rechargeable by solar methods, and in a hidden closet could have real possibilities. Maybe I was too quick to discard this method. LOL Gonna put it back on my list for later research.
