Matts Hydroponic Garden

My first hydroponic setup with air pump and                 After 3 weeks i had way too much lettuce and was

“General Hydroponics Maxigrow”.                               giving it away!

Expanded system for seedlings, strawberries,              This has been easy and fun, the plants

capsicum, chillies, spinach and herbs.                         are growing twice as fast with less water!

Vertical Gardens

You can grow anything you like ( lettuce, radish, beans, and the list goes on.)And the best part it is on wheels

so you can follow the sun all year round.

Acme Tanks

Just about the easiest way to grow Hydroponically.

Julie’s 3 Pot System Garden

This is a very simple way to grow in a very small area. I grew these Cherry Tomatoes in a small corner in my back garden. The idea is simple, the bottom tub holds the water with the nutrients the next tub is a spacer with a hole in it ti put the pump in and the top tub hold the expanded clay to grow my vegetables.

Pete’s Wall Hung Garden

Just goes to prove you a can grow anywhere.            This is only a meter across            

A dustbin doubles a reservoir holds 80 litres                 Cos Lettuce and Fancy Lettuce

Mint roots going wild                                                            Mint with Lettuce

 Lettuce roots doing really well in expanded clay      Two types of Lettuce

Rainbow Silverbeet                                                                   Has very red roots

This System like most Hydroponis systems works with nutrient filled water being pumped up and gravity bring it back to the reservoir. All these were grown from very small seedling 2 weeks ago. They should be ready to harvest in another 3 weeks. I have the system on a timer going on for 30 minutes every 2 hours starting at 7 am and finishing at 7 pm and resting in the water filled pipes over night. I am using Canna Vega at the rate of 2mm per litre of A+B ( 120mm of each into 60 litres of water) all grown in expanded clay. If I was growing anything that has a flower ( Tomatoes Eggplant ETC ) I would change to Canna Flores at the same rate when the flower started to appear.
