Hydroponic Garden Tour | Jan. 2024

[@denisesw9128]

Thanks for the tour and info. I’m new to hydroponics so I found this helpful! ❤

That's great, thank you! Glad it helped a bit. I'm still learning too so I just hope I can share some of the things I learned ☺️ hopefully you're liking your garden so far!

Very nice set up! People would be surprised how much you could pull off that for just personal use.

Thank you, ya it's taken a bit of practice to make sure I'm getting enough crop rotation in ☺️

I got into Aerogardens, and I found that their nutrients just aren't that great either. I have been using the Master Blend Mix, but I know other use the Maxi-Grow with great success. I also need to get into checking pH but I need something to check pH first. Your gardens look great. I need to find that dwarf roma. The name listed on screen seemed to go to a slicing tomato and not a dwarf roma.

Thank you! Ya some trial and error with the nutrients for sure. I liked Rise's liquid nutrients but the dry haven't been the same so I've switched my Sprout garden to Maxi grow. As for the tomato. I might have misspoke but the tomato in the video (other than the cherry tomatoes) is a Dora Heartbreaker tomato. Just a bit bigger than a cherry tomato. I have grown a dwarf roma called sunrise sauce from Johnny seeds but it's more of a paste tomato. I am currently growing two dwarf determine slicers. I'll show those in my garden in my next garden your next weekend. I also have another 3-4 I plan to experiment with so I'll let everyone know how they turn out. I hope that helps ☺️

@@beyourbestgardener8767 I've been looking for a dwarf roma so that is very helpful. Something to look for. Roma's make great fresh salsa...

[@beyourbestgardener8767]

@@theaerogardenhomestead ya! That's the only dwarf roma I've tried so far other than the two slicers I have now. I also tried Prairie Fire from Baker Creek. Not sure it's considered a Roma but it's similar, just a smaller fruit. It didn't seem to take well to hydroponics but I might try it again.

I will add timestamps this weekend, just ran out of time ☺️
