Indoor Hydroponic Systems Let You Garden Year Round


Do you love gardening? There is nothing quite like going out to your own garden and picking fresh ripe vegetables for your daily meals. If you love gardening as much as I do, then you probably feel a little sad when it all comes to an end each fall.

Well. I have found a way to have fresh vegetable growing all year by growing them with indoor hydroponic systems. It takes a little work to get set up, but then so does traditional gardening.

Hydroponics means soilless gardening. That’s right. You can grow lush healthy plants and vegetables without any soil whatsoever. Hydroponics actually is not new technology. I has been in use many years on the commercial and research levels. It has only been the past few years that hydroponic systems have taken off in the home use sector. Now you can buy indoor hydroponic systems in kits so it is easier to get set up.

There are actually several different ways to grow plants with an indoor hydroponic system. Soil is not used, but other growing material is. This material may be water, gravel, sand, or vermiculite. Water needs to be able to flow through the medium so the more porous it is, the better it will be for they plants to grow. One could even use bran, moss or coconut fiber as a medium for indoor hydroponic systems.

The lifeblood of indoor hydroponic systems is the nutrient solution which is added to the water and bathes the roots. The nutrient solution was first developed in the 1890s and continues to be used today. It contains phosphorous, nitrogen, potassium, and trace minerals. This nutrient solution is used in the place of fertilizer.

The fun thing about indoor hydroponic systems is that you can design and build your own system if you want. If that sounds like too much trouble you can buy parts or entire kits. When you design your own system you can use whatever is available to you such as an old aquarium which can be used as a tank for the nutrient solution.

In addition to the tank or the reservoir, you will also need artificial lighting. Lighting that is specifically designed for growing plants, or grow lights, should be used. These can be obtained easily at any garden shop.

You will also need an air pump to maintain the proper levels of oxygen in the nutrient solution for the plant roots. An aquarium air stone works just fine. Anything can be used that aerates the water and makes bubbles.

A growing tray or tubes are needed to support your plants. Design them in such a way that the plant roots can hang below the tray to come into contact with the nutrient solution.

The easiest thing to do is to buy a kit that has all the indoor hydroponic system parts in one easy package. This is especially helpful if you know little about designing and building things, particularly hydroponics systems. Once you see the system in action and have a good grasp of how it all comes together, you may want to design your own system from then on.

If you are wondering what types of plants can be grown in indoor hydroponic systems, you will be pleased to know that you can grow anything you want from tomatoes, to mushrooms, to green vegetables, and anything else you want to try.

Herb Garden Kits – A Practical Way To Start Your Garden


Nowadays most things are available in kit form, including everything you need to start a new herb garden indoors or outdoors, on the patio or in the garden itself. And alongside herb garden kits you will find a myriad of other garden kits including strawberry garden kits, salad garden kits, flower garden kits, and mushroom growing kits. This is the perfect way to start your very own cottage garden.

When you shop around, you will find that some kits come with seed trays and peat pellets, while others are supplied with garden stackers as well, which are ideal for people who have very limited space. The bottom container of stackers sits snugly on a base tray for drainage, and then each consecutive container stacks over the next in such a way that you are left with pockets for planting herbs or anything else that takes your fancy. These are ingenious and also very attractive, and some can even be hung.

Some kits that are intended for the windowsill (usually the kitchen sill) come with pots, trays, peat and seeds, for example parsley, basil and chives. These may or may not be biodegradable.

But it is not just the means of growing plants bought in a kit that differs. Herb kits are also available with a variety of different types of herbs to choose from. For instance, an indoor culinary herb garden will come with an assortment of herb seeds like parsley, thyme, coriander (cilantro), basil, dill, oregano, sweet marjoram, onion chives and garlic chives, savory, mustard and sage. These are, of course, great for cooking with.

Or perhaps you would prefer a kit that has herbs you can use to make various herbal teas. Herb seeds that would be included in a kit of this kind might include lemon balm, catnip, rosemary, peppermint, chamomile, fever few, lavender, lemon grass, marigolds, lemon bergamot (Monarda citriodora), angelica and anise.

A medicinal herb seed kit, on the other hand will probably include things like Echinacea, milk thistle, peppermint, chamomile, yarrow, St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), burdock, fever few, lemon balm, valerian, and perhaps even cayenne. Be sure to do some research when growing medicinal herbs though, because they have very specific uses.

Usually herb kits will contain many more seeds than you will be able to plant in a garden stacker or in containers. But you do not have to germinate the whole lot at once. The beauty of peat pots is that you can pop a couple of seeds only into each pot and then transplant the seedlings when they are big and strong enough to survive. Then you can start the whole process again, and be assured of having fresh herbs on hand month after month.
