Hey! Thanks for sharing your homemade hydroponics. I remember you posted about it on another thread and I was trying hard to remember where I saw it!

I think it is great what FReepers can do. There is another Freeper that has his whole garden planted in earth boxes, something like 20 or more of them.

You’re welcome! The black eyes peas have now produced pods, and they should be ready for harvest in a few weeks. I’m not sure what I’ll plant next time around, but I think I’ll start to mix plantings to reduce the concentration of certain types of pests. I’ve noticed a lot of black flies on the peas, but the ladybugs have been taking pretty good care of them.

Lettuce isn’t doing too well. Too hot I guess. Spinach is so-so. The peppers are amazing!

I need to pull out my old ‘Square Foot Gardening’ and study up on complimentary plantings for the next round.
