my small mini garden

[les matzek]

i would like to share my small winter grow out with you folks photo #1 has got broccoli and caulifower
in it it has two 11 inch air stones in the 75 gallon
reservoire, photo #2 also has the same in it but
no air stones in the reservoire as you can see there
is a big difference in the growth as they where both
planted at the same time.

photos of #3 and #4 are green globe artichokes,
and # 4 photo is tyee f1 spinach.

Very nice! Is that a fabric pot I see in Photo #4. How is that working out for you?

hi lycopene,
yes the one artichoke pland is in a smart pot (30 gal.)
the other choke is in a 30 container, my results last
summer where the same in both containers for this reason i will not use smart pots next year.
the brock. and caulif. is in my self made maxi-
tainers they both have 75 gallon reservoirs the
one with the biggest plants has 2 11 inch air
stones in the reservoir quit a bit of difference
in the size of them as you can see must be the
air stones ??,regards, les.

The best price I have seen for Coco fiber is here:

Hydro-Gardens

A 5 gallon grow bag with enough coco to fill it is under $3.
