Grow your Own Veggies at home - in an autopot



Currently growing in coconut fibre in an autopot,, tomatoes, one pepper, basil and a chinese cabbage.  The tall green object is the  resevoir and holds hydroponic nutrient and the autopot tray has a valve that regulates the flow - just set and forget once you plant.  Check out from time to time to make sure everything is going fine and nutrient is flowing to the plants and still plenty in the resevoir.

The Best Reason to Grow Your Own Veggies - Fresh organic smoothies

 
Posted by Picasa
One of the best reasons to grow your own veggies - freshly picked spinach, organic limes make a healthy and delicious smoothie with water and a small amount of sugar - use Kale or silverbeet if you have it or all three for a healthy boost to your day

Home Grown Organic Veggies

Grow your own Silver Beet  - pretty easy, pop the seeds into seed raising mix then transplant into soil with  compost added  - best homegrown but OK to buy if you don't have your own and voila - your own greens with minimum effort 
Hay Garden  in its first season, produced beans, rhubarb, zucchinis by the mile, herbs, silver been, strawberries, lettuce and potatoes 
The second garden build on newspapers and hay has produced all summer, a mix of herbs, flowers and veggies, notice the recycled drawers in the front - these have produced  a constant supply of lettuces and spring onions all summer 
   
Mixed garden - this is the most sheltered section with herbs, bromeliads ( there to keep sheltered) silverbeet and a lemon tree
