| Just wanted to show off my kitchen herb garden. It's just three plants - Mint, Basil, and Thyme. It's growing in completely organic soil, under two 26-watt CFL lights, and two fans constantly keeping the plants cool and sturdy. I only use aerated reverse osmosis water on them, in order to keep from chlorine killing off all the microbial life in the soil. Read more about it in the link below.
Cheers, Dan |

| rhizo, that's true. I've grown a couple of things with chemical fertilizers and supplements. You don't need, the microorganisms, but why kill them with chemicals when all they're doing is helping? IMO a more balanced diet is provided to the plants when microbial life is encouraged to flourish, however I do think that advancements in aeroponics and such are making chemical fertilizer use way more sustainable, so it is definitely a viable option. I'm experimenting with organic aeroponics and hydroponics in coco coir this summer. |
