Adjusting the Watering Schedule in Dutch Bucket Hydroponics
I guess asked all the time about how often you should water your plants in a Dutch (Bato) Bucket Hydroponic system. In this video, I talk about how I adjust the timing based on the needs of the plant.

Growing Tomatoes in a Trashcan - Dutch Bucket Hydroponics
Переглядів 50 тис.4 роки тому
For everyone interested in Dutch Bucket Hydroponics, please pay attention. The container of choice is virtually irrelevant. What you need to focus on is the overall process of fertilizer and water distribution. In this video, I'm using a 5.5 gal waste basket to grow a First Lady tomato. Pick whatever container suits the plant you're trying to grow, and have fun.

Hydroponic Pumpkin Update - Switched from Kratky to DWC
Переглядів 34 тис.4 роки тому
Here's an update on my first hydroponic pumpkins. I started this process using Dr. Kratky's method, and then switched to DWC. The plants were consuming way more water than I had anticipated. It's been a real struggle with the high temperatures, but we're finally getting some decent pumpkins to form. Hopefully we'll have a few nice ones for Halloween.

Dutch Bucket Hydroponics - Growing Cucumbers, Tyria and Iznik
Переглядів 43 тис.4 роки тому
If you're looking to grow cucumbers in your Dutch Bucket setup, it's a good idea to find some Parthenocarpic varieties so you don't have to worry about getting help from bees for the pollination. Two varieties I like are Tyria and Iznik. Both are very productive and perform well in a greenhouse environment.
Like Craft Beer ? Let's Grow Some Hops !
Переглядів 22 тис.4 роки тому
If you like craft beer as much as I do, you probably would like to save some money and brew your own. I prefer a hoppy IPA, so I decided to grow some hops, Chinook and Zeus. This is my first time growing hops and it's been a lot of fun watching the plants climb a 12 foot trellis, in a hurry. The next step is to harvest the hop clusters, get them dried out, and start brewing...I think ?

Turning Nematodes into Hydroponic Pumpkins using Dr. Kratky's method

For the first time, I'm dealing with root knot nematodes. They pretty much wiped out the tomatoes in our small greenhouse. I've done a soil drench with Azagard to get rid of them. In the meantime, let's try something new...growing hydroponic pumpkins using Dr. Kratky's method...just set it and forget. It's still early, but things look promising.

    FEED ME SEAMOR ! Lol… (little shop of horrors); I know I saw beets too ? What NPK ratio do you use, do you use the same for beets that you do for cabbage ? With beets, you need clay pebbles or vermiculite to grow in, but with cabbage there’s roots so you don’t need a medium like beets do ?! I love hydro root vegetables; Thanks ; )

    I've never done full-blown back to Eden techniques, but I had a couple loads of wood chips delivered over to put in low spots around my fruit trees to decompose and fill in the gaps. Nothing is being bothered by it. When I want to plant something in it, I pull back the wood chips until I hit dirt. Nitrogen is only sequestered in the soil if it is mixed into the soil. Also, in less than 6 months in my climate the wood chips are definitely already on their way to breaking down and everything in the neighborhood looks great.

      I watched your tribute to Webcajun and I watched both of you. You both have got me into doing hydroponics but I do them outside. I was wondering if you still have your greenhouse and are still using it. You have been a big inspiration to me and I feel the way about you as you did about Donald. I would like to be able to meet you and shake your hand and talk with you and see your set up so that when I buy my property I will have a head start on my set up planning. I’m retired but fixing to go back to work on a couple of months. If you would like to text or talk I can send you my number. Thank again, Steve
