Okay, another year, another crop...

For those who remember My Hydroponics design and garden, here is some images from today.

This is season 3, I think.

Don't come cryin' to us.

 

[Darkwind]

Don't come cryin' to us.

I'm still laughing at this.

I'm still laughing at this.

Let me say this: I've done a lot of gardening and container gardening but never did hydroponics, but I can appreciate the complexity. I'm guessing you supply the fertilizer through the water which is probably why you have plants with similar needs grouped together.

Awesome! Have you estimated how much more efficient you are with water with your hydroponic design vs a conventional drip system?

I have.

Exactly right.

I mix the nutrients to the plants ever othe day or so.

The system is akin to a drain and flood by running the pumps and refreshing the nutrient-rich water in the course of an hour, I can then turn it all off and the plants will live on what is in the deep water culture -- DWC -- for at least that long. All in all, there we few things more efficient.

Unless you count tossing random seeds into a greenland and then walking away. lol

 

[MarathonMike]

I have.

And?

Ok fine you don't want to tell us. Whatever.

Why in the hell not!?

I'll buy yer seed bank.

What? I did a meta-analysis of the resources saved using hydroponics and I was convinced to work this way.

But the truth is, I detest weeding a garden and this was my evil plan to avoid it forever. lol

I"m not hinding anything Mike. I just read it was more efficient than gardening in the ground.

Ok I get it. My question was simply "How much less water do you use compared to a standard drip system"?

Darkwind that is an amazing garden
