#aquaponics

Super easy and cheap option to start a single plant #Kratky #Hydroponic unit.

I bought a large number of mesh cups after my last trip to #Ghana to take with me for fhd planned workshops and ito use them at the #Aquaponics system we were planning to build at #Kumasi agriculture college.

My sickness, followed by #Covid restrictions prevented me from travelling and I put everything in storage before moving back to south of #France.

As I am trying to restart my experiments with various solutions to grow #vegetables at home, I came across these small mesh cups that are perfect match for the 2L #milk bottles in France. The same with 1L #bottles and many other #juice sold in #France and in #Europe.

The 2L is perfect because it will have enough water and nutrients for a leafy vegetable like #lettuce or #kale to grow without the need to refill it

All I need to do is to wrap the bottle with aluminum foil, fill it with proper mix of nutrients and water and put them under a #GrowLight or by the window to get #sunshine.

Hello, #newhere , just getting a feel for this so i can get away from #facebook ( #deletefacebook ) want to find a new platform to carry on my friendships with people. of all the networks on the federation page...i like #diaspora and #hubzilla the best. each has its pros and cons, but overall they both seem good. hard to decide my favorite...lol

what are the thoughts of the community here who have looked into both?

My interest are #hunting #fishing #guns #offgrid #selfsufficeincy #gardening #oilandgas #aquaponics #hydroponics etc.
