Good afternoon, Red

I hope that things are going good for you and the big move. It can really be nerve wracking to move. I hope that you have good luck selling your house

I got my soil analysis back and went to the local ext office yesterday for a sit down talk with the head of the master gardener program that translated all the technical talk to plain English for me and told me just the right amounts of stuff to add to my soil. The local office is just great to deal with, and near my home,too. My little plot had almost no nitrogen and the PH was way too low. It's a wonder that I was able to grow anything last year.

My seedlings are doing great. I have about 200 maters of four varities, about 20 red chilis, and the other peppers did not sprout. My plan is if they grow as well this year as they have in the past, I will supply all my friends with mater seedlings for their gardens.

Hi Red_Devil, new gardener here, could you add me to your weekly list?

Hello Red, Thanks for the thread. Glad to hear you will have some gardening space. We have had some nice days here in Missouri. If the weather holds, I will plant some red clover in my raised beds to turn under later this spring for soil improvement.

Just received some Arkansas Traveler seeds. Will be starting some now (a bit early) and some spinach. Will grow these in pots which will eventually be placed on the patio ASAP this spring, with the ability to bring in and out of the house as needed.

Have a great weekend. God Bless.

Aquaponic Kale root growth - Week 6



With the heat-exchanger reworked (ok the part that got reworked last week is just an old truck radiator that was rearranged in proximity to a 24V fan for better airflow... But heat-exchanger just sounds much more geeksterishly impressive than "old truck radiator", doesn't it?), the heating water is now up to 80 degrees on a sunny day. That keeps things warmer at night... and the growie things appear to be liking that a whole lot.

Both leaf and root growth on this guy have nearly doubled in two weeks.
