Hydroponics

I have always fancied having a go at hydroponics so took the plunge. I bought a kit. 

This is the base and the lights 



Add water and feed and sponges. In the sponges add seeds. The unit does the rest, have to top up with water and leave plugged in. The unit is programmed. The above picture is the second lot I am growing. 

When they get to certain size I transferred to polytunnel to carry on growing. Herb seeds normally take forever in soil to get going. The hydroponic unit speeds germination up. Well worth it if your a gardener! 

The herbs hoping to sell dried and fresh at the honesty box. Watch this space!!
