Some New Ideas On Efficient Plans Of Organic Gardening
Years ago, I visited a colleague in Beijing (Prof. Dr. WANG Tao), who showed me a peculiar way of growing garlic plants on vertical “poles”. In fact, the poles were PVC pipes, about 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) in diameter, in which a series of 4-5 cm (1 ½ to 2 inches) holes were drilled. The holes were spaced randomly around the pipe, about 4-5 cm (1 ½ to 2 inches) apart. An impressive series of pipes were standing as “grow towers” in a greenhouse, so that in a relatively small space a maximum of plants were kept growing from floor to ceiling. Each pipe was filled with potting soil and the pipes were watered with a sort of drip irrigation system. In every hole of each grow tower a garlic bulb was growing splendidly (flowering towers !).This brought me to the idea that a smaller number of plants could also be grown on PET bottles. It suffices to cut a number of holes in the wall of the bottle, filled with potting soil, to create a small grow tower (see my first experimental designs) :Bottle with 3 holes at one side. The same number can be cut at the opposite side.
In fact, you don't actually have to purchase every little thing that you may need simply because several materials for this venture could be seen at the convenience of your very own house. A great advantage of the soil-less cultivation of plants is that it may potentially produce much higher crop yields, and can be used in places where gardening is not possible. Drainage is very essential in container gardening. By choosing plants that will complement each other with biannual rotations, and adding compost and fertilizer to your soil, your garden should turn out just right. As there are no source of water which the roots canreach you need to put water at regular interval.

They may have influences to your requirements or ultimately design of your hydroponic system. Because of the soil less growing medium hydroponics also eliminates the problem of soil born pests and diseases. Even before germination, water regularly, ensuring that the soil is damp but not soaked.
Hydroponic gardening can be extremely rewarding and profitable for those who want to take the effort. Hydroponics research has recognized that the nutrients in the soil dissolve when they come in contact with water, as a result making it trouble-free for the plants to absorb. Enjoy raw in salads or chopped into a stir fry.
It is a great resource. MaintenanceEasy maintenance and low costs are the main advantages of herb gardening. But the best way to choose is to do what I did; just look at what you have in your kitchen. The mass of the cargoes that need to be lifted off the Earth will be reduced significantly. Once you have adequate details, certainly you will appreciate your activity while improving your gardening expertise.
