Received my 100L mix of #perlites and #vermiculite I bought from a guy online for 20 euros.
I feel silly because it's another large item I have to move.
I know I'm crazy, but couldn't say no.

Decided to do some quiet garden work so I picked up the failed attempt to grow #garlic hydroponically.
It grew pretty good as long as just the roots were in water, but when I planted the bulbs in #vermiculite and placed them on one of the holes of #IKEA #Växer, they stopped growing after a while and the stems turned dryand rotten.
I am going to plant these in soil outside to see if I get them to grow leaves again.

Remember it was full of #aphids and was afraid it would die.
Cleaned it up and trimmed it to the bare minimum and been feeding it organic #fertilizer and 1L of water every day.
It is full of #flowers and already picked about 20 peppers from if. It is my most successful plant in a long time. Specially since it got a new pot filled with old soil mixed with #vermiculite and compost.

Wanted to buy some #vermiculite for mix with perlite and coco peats to set up hydroponic unit for next year and put it aside because of the high price and shipping costs.
Found a 100L unit on the french site LebonCoin.fr for 25 euro including shipping.
Everything is ready for the Dutch bucket system for tomatoes, cucumbers and melons next year.
