outside temps in Fla

12 years ago

I am thinking about switching over from raised bed gardening to drip hydroponic for my spring veggie garden in central fla.

I will probably drip and gravity empty back into the resv. If I do not mostly bury the grow containers and resv will the 90 + degree day temps overheat the water and mostly empty drip grow containers ?

Burying wont help. You will need a chiller to keep water temps below 65f for safe growth. So stay with the beds trust me. Try this : Get a shade netting system attached to your beds. You can pull the net over when the temps are high and pull down when temps are in the 80 range. Leave it up durring hot weeks. By all means try the hydroponics out but keep your beds.
