Gardening 2024
#33
The kratky method works really well with herbs, it might be worth looking into for indoor plants. Hydroponics feed is cheap and goes a long way and the best thing of all is there's nowhere for fungus gnats to lay eggs. Indoor plants are great but the pests they attract can be really annoying.


Here's a video of how cheap and easy it can be


I'm using recycled milk cartons which are 2 litre, basil uses about 1 litre of feed a month (it grows really fast) but chillies are using half that even as they fruit. It's a nice and lazy way to grow things, if you're creative you could probably make some really fancy containers or you could even get the kids to paint them.

It never hurts to supplement light levels in the winter either, LED lights are cheap and do make a huge difference during the darker winter months if you live somewhere with long winters.
