Hydroponics 2011
I have setup my small hydroponics kit again for another attempt at growing using this method. Luckily, I have a hydroponics shop very close to my house so when I went in there a few weeks back for supplies I was also able to get some advice. I am trying to avoid a repeat of [...]

Boxes Complete
I managed to get around to making the new garden boxes today and I am very pleased with the result! This will make the little part of the garden much easier to manage while still keeping the cats mess at bay.

Propagation
I decided to purchase a new heated propagator to help with the germination process of some of my seeds. I went for a 50w version with a built in thermostat that is designed to keep the soil temperature at 19 degrees c. So far it has been excellent and my cucumber (spacemaster 80) seeds came [...]

Hydro-Disaster!
I knew things were too good to be true! I went out to the greenhouse to find some of the newly forming tomatos on the hydroponics system had dropped onto the floor with blackened sides to them.

Landscaped pond and tomatos a-plenty
This week saw the pond area finally finished. It’s such a nice place to sit and listen to the waterfall now. As our garden has 3 levels, we have decided to give each one its purpose. The bottom area is used for a table and chairs, the middle level is a decorative area and the [...]
