Things are coming right along in the 'garden'.
The gravel bed is by far my best hope for success right now. I have a very good feeling this has to do with the fact that these plants were sewn right into the gravel and never moved. I'm going to try to re-seed the basket planters in the lower chamber and see how those plants do if I just sew them and leave them alone. I hypothesize they will do much better.
Also, it just now occurred to me that it would have been a good idea to take pictures with a ruler next to the plants so you could actually tell how big they were at each stage.
Oh, well. Next time. Live and learn.

ReplyDeleteif your doing medium-less make sure you filter the input to the bed with a pantyhose to remove the suspended solids that cling to the plant roots and suffocate them.

There are multiple filters in my system. Suspended solids are not a problem. Also, for right now I'm not worrying too much about the media-less chamber because I need to get more lighting first.
