Coldest winter in a century in Florida?? Hydroponic vertical garden gradually going to fully organic. Meat and egg layer babies. Seedlings. tomatogeek@gmail.com

DIY hydroponic garden. This is my vertical garden. Started with the idea of getting the most production out of a small space. By growing in the vertical styrofoam pots, you insulate the roots of the plant keeping them warm in winter and cool in the summer. By planting in coco coir, you have a completely nutreal media free of alkanlinity and PH; coco coir is necessary when using these virtical pots.

Currently, I have 120 Florida 91 tomato plants (please google Florida 91 to learn more about this remarkable heat and disease resistant tomato developed by the University of Florida). Each plant has produced almost 10 pound of tomatos since the end of December 2008 and are still producing tomatos expected to go through the summer. We have seedlings available to ship to you within the US only. Please email me at tomatogeek@gmail.com and let me know how many you want and I will send you a quote. Seeds are also available. You can go to ebay and bid or buy there or you can just email me at tomatogeek@gmail.com with the amount of seeds you would like; payment is accepted through paypal only at this time. If you want pots or coco coir, I can also send you a quote just let me know how many you would like again at tomatogeek@gmail.com ; this can be shipped worldwide.

Hydroponics is not a new development. Has been around almost since the beginning of history. That wonder of the ancient world known as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was an exercise in hydroponics and rice has been grown hydroponically for centuries.

Today, hydroponics is used in a variety of settings. Whenever the soil is unavailable, hydroponic gardening seems to appear. Wildcatters offshore oilrigs grow their own tomatoes. Chefs of nuclear submarines hydroponically grow vegetables for use in the meals of the crew there. At present, the plants grown in space stations in orbit, without a single grain of soil.

This video is a summary of equipment and the necessary steps to build your own hydroponic garden. More info and DIY hydroponics instructions can be obtained by placing a comment and leaving your email address and we will contact you; thanks.

happy easter art. glad you survived. of course you could throw burlap over the top of your structure or plastic.

[artoliva]

@telemarker77 the plastic didn't work; it was really cold

Do you still make videos!

[fiskfarm]

Great video. We are fans. Much better to hear you. Your voice is very professional and the camera work now equally so. We just moved to NE TN last summer from Northern ME and are building our farm. Much shorter winters. We just placed 35 trout in our farm pond yesterday Feb 22. We have 2 sheep and a flock of chickens. Getting ready for whatever. Looking forward to your next video. Don't hesitate to turn that camera toward yourself if you don't feel privacy invasion. We understand if you do.

so awesome! jaw dropping work! hey glad you are using organic seed to! thats so important to keeping food producing plants, hybrids/inbred plants have shorter life spans and need to be renewed, if you got organic, the seed should be able to be dried and planted every year making a infinite food cycle for you! sweet! so impressed

Where abouts in Florida are you? I am next to the space coast, just west of 95, and we are just seeing buds now. This past winter killed almost all of our plants and palm trees. only 1 of 10 queen palms survived
