Indoor Gardening and Gardenhacker takes a tip from his site
Taking some of the information I've gleaned and am putting it to use:
Eight cups of "Vitiamin Greens" from Johnny's Select Seeds. From an
instructables link reported earlier here.
We'll see how it progresses.
Also there's a great site on indoor
gardening on the oldhouseweb.com, which goes into basic details on what
you need, including: "... The containers used for indoor gardening must
provide drainage and adequate room. Follow the planting directions in
seed catalogs or on seed packets to calculate the number of plants per
container. Recommended containers vary, providing a number of
aesthetically pleasing options. Some suggestions are: pots,
wastebaskets, buckets, aquariums, waterproof bushel baskets, crates with
black plastic with a few holes for drainage, a hollowed-out log for
flowers, and washtubs. One unusual example of an indoor container is a
24-inch washtub with holes punched in the bottom for drainage. This
container will hold: 25 bean, beet, spinach, leaf lettuce, or turnip
plants, 18 endive or Swiss chard plants, 50 dwarf carrots, radishes, or
bunching onions, 12-18 small to medium size annual flowers, and one
cucumber, tomato, or squash. ..." Mmmm right up my alley! Stay tuned for
progress on the passive hydroponic eight cup salad, and link up to the oldhouseweb.com,
too!
