I love them. They are great. I recommend the Vibram Flow, as they have thicker material and are more durable.
In this system, it does not. He could set up some catch containers and then pump it back into the tank. He has an automatic float that fills up the tank when it gets low.
How does the water get back into tank once it goes down the vertical stack
that rez gets way too hot for hydroponics in florida, warm water = root rot, even in cooler climates in the summer you wanna use a chiller or burry your rez, and allways use hygrozyme….. just some tips…..
Diggin the Vibram Five Fingers. I want a pair of those so bad. How are they?
Great video, John! Vertical gardening at home is really a great way to grow the finest food in bulk. The Urban Farmer is really a great opportunity for growers in Florida to garden all year-long since it offers different tools for both indoor and outdoor gardening setup. All states should have a similar sanctuary for growers!
Nice shoes!
How to they prevent damage by high winds at this vertical plantation?
21:20 – Totally agree.
John, you’re such a huge inspiration to me you can’t even imagine. Best part of my day is to come home and watch a new episode
Could you put soil in stacked pots like that and grow vertically? Or does it have to be hydroponics?
Do you mean Pompano Beach FL? I grew up in Pompano and never heard of Pomano.
Tripped me up too…I thought it was some sort of mayoral pendant or the special growing crystal that he rubs on everything to make it grow. But then it occured to me that the sound level was outstanding. I suspect it is a microphone. A really stylish microphone. Not as groovy as those shoes though.
cool
Have you ever grown amaranth? Specifically for grain? Love the videos!
watchout for mosquito breedin.
I always learn so much watching your videos. Very interesting!
hey tell your buddy to check into Biozome. It is a product made here in Texas and it will use enzyme action to decontaminate that soil. Check it out. Great vid!
@growingyourgreens Thanks for specifying, I always thought peat moss wasnt soil lol idk if Im more confused now or then! hahaha whatever, at any rate I like that and I might try it this year. Thanks for responding.
@crosspecans I was wondering about the pendant too.
so cool they do this in my city to feed people here in port richey florida!
nice video very inmformative
thanks again
tell us about your necklace if you get a chance?? what do they put in the water for nutrients?? is it just city water??
The earthbox is filled with an approved Potting Mix or Potting Soil. Basically its mostly peat moss plus perlite or vermiculite.
Field trip on video! I can’t wait to check this out in person and take a class.
Hey John, is the earth box filled with SOIL, or PEET MOSS?
