    I love them. They are great. I recommend the Vibram Flow, as they have thicker material and are more durable.

  2. growingyourgreens says:

    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…..

    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!

    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 :)

  11. ambergoreham says:

    Could you put soil in stacked pots like that and grow vertically? Or does it have to be hydroponics?

  12. PamMar1 says:

    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.

    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!

  22. crosspecans says:

  23. growingyourgreens says:

    The earthbox is filled with an approved Potting Mix or Potting Soil. Basically its mostly peat moss plus perlite or vermiculite.

  24. jjkadaba69 says:
