Greenhouse Gardening

[whoisit]

That's nice. You got some tips?

Not sure what do you want to know? We learned a lot from MHPGardner. We did pretty good only problem was heat and we're in N.Florida,lol.
Of course I did it my way on some things like his white buckets.I like the Loews blue buckets because any light makes the water green with algae.

This was our hydroponic or part of them.We grew all kinds of squash,lwttuce,peppers. Plus in soil in containers too.

In our buckets we use pea gravel, it works great and you only buy it once. We do wash it off every year and keep it dry when storing it.
This set up also can be grown inside if you have grow lights and room.

Our first build of hydroponics this is afloating reservour. He was checking the nutrients but really no need.

Making the platform to hold reservours, we used scrap lumber to build them. Ordered food grade hydroponic poly film. These pics were taken several years ago when we first did hydros.and its ll standing and doing good today.

We propagate our own plants from seed. for these below were squash.

We used insulated isulation to put net pots in. It floats so it worked great.
