Hydroponic Green Beans in a Kitchen Sink

Once in awhile you try something new just for fun. In this video, we're growing Strike Green Beans.... using Masterblend fertilizer.... in a kitchen sink. This is so simple, so easy...that anybody can do it.

[@Addictedtothewild]

Please keep making videos. You’re a natural teacher and make learning fun.

[@mhpgardener]

Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.

BOBY IS BACK IN THE GROOVE

[@shutterspeedjb]

I've learned more from you over the years than anyone I've ever known or watched. Hate it when you're gone, jump for joy when you return. Always great info, and always presented in a down to earth way. Thanks. Keep it up!

[@moonraker814]

Welcome back!!!

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

Bobby. Donald would be so proud of you right now. He'd be saying some Cajun words of pleasure and pride and give you that big Cajun smile. Even in a kitchen sink. Now that's something else. Have a great week!

[@justbob7645]

Man I'm sure glad your back. Your a wealth of knowledge!

[@Walt1119]

I grow bush beans in my hydro towers using the same MB that I use on everything else, I just plant the bean seeds, 60 days, I pick, pull the plants and replant again! Works fantastic, thanks for the video Bobby!!!! I learned all my hydro from you, so grateful!!!w

[@TheGuruStud]

They should produce much longer than that, especially if you top em some.

[@2ladyhomesteadershodge898]

I really miss seeing you and Miss Susan's videos. I am ordering another pound of Strike green beans to grow in my cement mixing tubes....and, I got the inspiration from you. My daughter, Ambria, is in a wheelchair and can enjoy gardening on the side deck using Kitty Litter buckets and the hydroponic method YOU taught us. We really miss your wisdom. *Hope it helps* Vivian Ann living 100% off grid on the side of the mountain in northeast Tennessee

[@leestrom2217]

Good to see you back.

[@royardianto]

You're so inspiring. made me start planting stuffs and it is almost like therapy to see them grow. God bless!

[@Agustin-ri1ih]

That's one of the many things I like about hydroponics: the simplicity. Some plants are tricky, but for most of them, if you give them minimum care they'll just grow and grow. Thanks for the video and the info!

[@robinsong7298]

Good golly I will have to give that a try next. Tell I'm still working I love her canning videos. God bless

[@mhpgardener]

Thanks. I'll let her know.

[@RichardCMongler]

Beautiful plants, you're doing a great job!

[@GrowYourHomesteadWithAngie]

I’m watching a lot of the videos and learning. My channel is only 1.5 years old. I haven’t done hydro outside just inside. But this is awesome

[@catinabeasley3872]

Hubby and I are doing some experimenting here in South Georgia. Heat is a factor, but we shall see. Thanks for all you do!

[@rodneybeasley6270]

I'm in Georgia too! The greenhouse is getting hot!

What did I learn from this video? Bush's Baked Beans are great!

[@rodneybeasley6270]

So glad you are back Bobby. I use your greenhouse growing knowledge everyday. Thanks

[@martinandersson2324]

Love watching your videos, I've learned so much from you years back when your videos on Hydro was the most informant and straight forward there was on the tube! Bless from the North & "If lord willing, I see you next time!😉 All the world's happiness to you and your family!//M🍃💚🍃

[@beckypots1]

What good inspiration, perhaps challenge your followers to see what they can recycle. In these times it's good to see the positive outcomes. Bless you Bobby!

Always happy to see bobby !

[@firozosman]

Happy to see you again Bobby!

[@darla3021]

Excellant video!! 👍 With all the schools operating so differently, it occurs to me that you and your wife should be included in a home school curriculum. What you both teach are life skills that are so very necessary. Many thanks to both of you for sharing those skills so generously. ⚘

[@mhpgardener]

I agree, this should definitely be part of home schooling, or even public schooling. Gardening and self sufficiency are important skillsets. Thanks 👨‍🌾

[@tbear271]

I would agree 100% if you are teaching kids at home meet your visiting professor. Scientific knowledge as well as tangible visible results in a short period of time. Plus a great way to build healthy eating habits. Great videos, keep up the great work

[@juliefleming6165]

i am going to grow myself some green beans! Thanks!

[@theresabollman8061]

Amazing! Bobby you should apply for a patent of that general design. I know you & Susan are all about caring and sharing, but getting something like that out on the market would help a lot of people too. You guys are really something. Thanks for sharing.

[@mhpgardener]

It would be a great way to recycle old sinks for sure. Thank you.

[@Mental.Hub.]

Good to see you back! Could you do a video of what sort of things we can use around the house to balance the PH of hydroponics?

[@wheat2714]

mannnnnnnnnnnnnn absolutely incredible that beans can grow in a sink thanks MHP and I'm still working my favorite youtube channel

[@billemery9192]

Always a good day when I get notified that either you or Susan have posted a new video. Thanks so much. Were the beans the awesome Strike?

[@thomasgolaszewski6502]

Very cool! I just ordered a small bad of master blend to get started. Thanks for your non rocket science help!

Awesome. I just happen to have a spare kitchen sink I was going to junk. Now I think I might just hold on to it.

Thank you. I'll ever look at the KITCHEN sinks the same way again. But OMG that's some tank top u had on.

[@johnmirbach2338]

very cool 😁✌🖖👌👍😎

[@wcfdemt]

How have you and your family been...can't wait for more videos

[@johnlord8337]

Time to start growing sweet pea vines. Just went to chinese restaurant and they had pea shoots on the menu. Had them - and they were great with wok cooking (or steaming) soy sauce, garlic. So keep the softer and end lengths of sweet peas and the leaves and can eat these for great salad as well. Same for growing sweet potatoes and eating the same vine and leaves as well. Remember to steam/boil and eat all the pea and sweet potato leaves. NO waste.

[@hudson8865]

Thank YOU!

[@brucehayes5111]

Another fine job 👍 Gonna try that very thing this fall in the green house. Anybody got a kitchen sink for sale 😄

[@stumpbumpers]

Well, I guess I know what I can do with those two stainless steel sinks by the barn😆

[@pamrakes474]

That’s awesome

nice to see you hydroponic man....

[@stevenquick4315]

I’ve been growing hydroponic lettuce since you did that series of videos way back when. I grow them under lights in a spare bedroom year round. I do need to replant one table now. Looks like it’ll be green beans. I can’t wait to try this one. Thanks Bobby, you have been an inspiration and mentor for many projects over the years. I’m glad you are still sharing your knowledge with us.

[@MrKen-longrangegrdhogeliminato]

Hello mhpgardener, have heard anything from you in the last two yeras accourting to your last videos. I pray brother that you are doing well. Sure would like to hear more from you.

So if you can in the future maybe try Miracle-Gro again if you get a chance tablespoon or half a tablespoon of Miracle Grow 2 grams calcium nitrate and 1 grand Epsom salt using Miracle-Gro in 1 gallon of water guarantee you will love it great videos love watching and God bless

[@carolynmoody9460]

BLESSINGS 💓

[@sdfft820]

Well done Bobby. Now can you do the same with strawberries? Love to see that video.

[@coreymcconnell2329]

I seen a couple of your videos back in the day when you was doing Hydroponics with different fertilizers masterblend and Miracle-Gro now if you use Miracle Grow and use the same chemistry as you use the master blend with the calcium and epsom salt the Miracle-Gro works great 2 grams calcium nitrate and 1 gram Epsom salt using Miracle Grow it works good that's Hydroponics but just to let you know you have a blessed life

[@greensnmachines]

Neat experiment. I tried germinating beans in rock wool in the past and every time I tried that, the seeds rotted away. I see using soil for starting the seeds and perlite as a shallow water bed is the way to go. Now I'm curious if beans can survive an NFT system?

[@HydroHavenGrow]

Very nice. I"ve been thinking of other things to grow... and I have a few seeds leftover. Ads watched and thumb up hit. Take care, kind sir.

[@mhpgardener]

Thank you, much appreciated. 👍

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

Now that's a good honey-do! I love it when I can eat my work! Those are some good looking beans. Do you snap them or does she? LOL!

[@mhpgardener]

For this little batch, I wasn't involved in the snapping. But when we have buckets full, I'll do my share.

[@janinepestel7278]

I just found your channel, and subscribed. Love your videos and I'm learning a lot. Just wondered if you can give me an idea of what size net pot to use for plants. For example, I'm using a 2" net pot for things like lettuce and swiss chard, but I think I would need a larger one for things like tomatoes, peppers, etc.

[@RaymondLohengrin]

Excellent channel. Would you please write a list or do a video of the best seeds and varieties that you use? I b went to the local farm store and purchased lettuce but for the time it takes to grow this kind is not practical to grow. I have seen many of your videos and the variety of lettuce and other greens you use seem much better. Thank you.

[@zaklloyd4335]

Have you ever made your own fertilizer? There's a Korean farming technique called JADAM, which specifies using the specific plant residues as the best fertilizers, like for like. Beans for beans, tomatoes for tomatoes etc. For your next batch of beans you could chop the old plants up, roots & all, add to a bucket of water along with some leaf mold and let it decompose anaerobically for a couple of months. Dilute at 1 part in 100 of water, add 1g sea salt per liter and you're good to go. Might make a nice experiment for you.

[@nevadasmith4269]

Have watch and watch your videos and build a set up last year and it was fair, I still am confused a lot on the masterblend mixing for lettuce, if you could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all the knowledge love watching

Use course grade. The fine grade is to powerdery. Extra course may work also.
