G’day from Australia! I’m a qualified horticulturist and greenkeeper and I’m passionate about hydroponic food production for everyone at home. I build low cost hydroponic systems using uPVC pipe and recycled materials to grow healthy fresh vegetables.

They are 20 litre drums (4 gallon?) the type with the tap fitting hole at the bottom. I cut the tops off and drill out the tap hole and fit a poly irrigation fitting to use it as the return hole to the reservoir. The drums are HDPE plastic which is food grade. I get them free or for a few dollars.

Yes, agreed I usually plant cucumber crops that overlap. It’s winter here now and will probably be too cold for another crop. Take care, happy growing.

For us to eat, and to give to family, friends and workmates. We trade some for eggs too.

5b’s to Yealering to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor on my Royal Enfield Bullet 500.
A bit of rain on the way down Saturday then fined up for a starry night.
Early to bed and up for nude yoga by the lake at dawn. Woke those chakras up.

The seeds are sown into nursery flat trays in January (our hottest month) and kept in the poly house. After three to five days the seeds are germinated and up. Daily watering and transplant into individual pots at the three true leaf stage.

Adenium obesum (desert rose). Seed collected from our mother plant. As the seed pod matures it dries and splits wind disbursing the seeds. To avoid losing the seeds we wrap sellotape around the pods. Then we collect the splitting pods into a paper bag.

Righton, weather is cooling here, but we can grow all year, good luck with germination. I look forward to seeing your results soon.

Are the frosts gone? Is it time to grow there now? Looks a great food production system you have got there.

Here I bought seedling starts from a nursery and transplanted them into the net pots as seedlings. I water them
From the top each day for the first three days until the plant roots get down into the nutrient solution. After three days I won’t need to water again and the plants will use what’s avbl.
