Container Herb Garden Video

AeroGarden

The "computerized" AeroGarden lets you know when to add water and nutrients. The micro-processor automatically adjusts nutrient delivery and water flow, and even turns grow lights on and off to simulate the sun.

The AeroGarden comes in only one size, 16" x 10 1/2" x 15 1/2". The AeroGarden system has been designed for maximum efficiency.
The entire system uses less energy than a single 60-watt light bulb. It uses full-spectrum compact fluorescent bulbs exclusively designed for the optimal amount and type of light needed for a robust, healthy plant growth.

A smart garden micro-processor automatically adjusts nutrient delivery, light cycles and water flow for specific plant types. Aeroponic optimizing chamber creates a near perfect rainforest growing environment.
Plant roots are suspended in air in 100% humidity, highly oxygenated growing chamber with nutrients and water. Plug n' Grow Bio-dome Seed System pods are enclosed in mini greenhouses for ultra fast germination often within 24 hours.

My new 'mini website'

I have found a wonderful new free webhosting site and I've already built several "mini-websites"

Check out my new 'Small Space Garden' site.

Spring Is Here!!

I'm so excited...Spring Is Here! I'll soon be planting my small space container garden outdoors! I'm just waiting for all dangers of frost to pass.

I want to use a layered planter, similar to the one in this picture for my smaller herbs.

They have a great little planter, complete with a Culinary Herb Garden Kit, over at Amazon for an incredibly reasonable price.

Then, I want to plant two planters with my 'veggies' and one or two planters with flowers. I LOVE the look of this planter...and I think they'd look great on my outdoor patio.

This is the last video in this experiment but, the videos are very recent so I may check back occasionally to see if he has made any new videos. If he does, I'll post them.

I like that the gardener is pointing out all of the problems he is encountering during his experiment. Hopefully it will help us all avoid similar problems and have great growing success.

Just a note. These videos can be found on You Tube..if you don't want to wait for the next one. The numbers I have put in my titles don't necessarily coincide with the numbers of his videos.

Indoor Container Gardening - 2

The 'gardener' had some sunlight issues indoors, so this video shows a few things he has done to remedy this problem. Perhaps it will come in handy for you.

Indoor Container Garden Experiment - 1

This is an indoor container garden experiment that I found on You Tube. This video shows container selections, vegetable selections, soil mix...well, have a look at it and see what you think.
I'm not going to run all weeks of this experiment, but I will run the weeks with information that I think is especially pertinent to share.

Let's Talk Containers

Still considering a small space garden? Let's talk containers.

Whether you've definitely decided that you are going to build a small space garden or you're still mulling the idea around a bit, I want to 'talk containers'.

The containers can be made of clay, wood, plastic, metal, or even recycled materials. Containers for small space vegetable gardens need to be big enough to support your plants when they are fully grown, have adequate drainage possibilities, and if they are recycled, they should never have held any kind of product that could be considered toxic to plants or people.

A few container suggestions include barrels, flower pots, large water jugs, window boxes, large baskets plastic lined (be sure you have drainage holes punched in the plastic lining for drainage purposes.)

Perhaps you would rather buy or build a wooden planter box. Keep in mind that cedar wood is the most resistant to wood rot. Other attractive containers are bamboo planters and willow planters.

There are a variety of very attractive and efficient planters available online. Simply Planters has a great variety of wonderful containers and they're having a great 'pre-season' sale right now. Over 250 Styles Of Garden Planters! Most Items Ship Free!

Windowbox also caters to container gardening needs and they have some nifty little growing lights to get you 'jump started' Let WindowBox.com help you experience the joys of growing plants in containers!

I could talk containers for hours, if you let me go on and on. I have so many ideas. But, if I want to get down to the business of growing a small space container garden, I almost always opt for something that was made for container gardens. It cuts down on the planning and preparing stages and lets me get right to the planting and tending.

Small Space Garden

If, like me, you live in the confines of a small space, or you are unable to dig up the yard to plant your favorite veggies in your very own garden, you don't have to give up on the idea. You can plant a 'small space garden'.

Small space gardens;

-are very easy to manage

-can be grown indoors or out

-can be grown year round, no matter where you live

-enable us to grow nutrious vegetables and herbs, as well as, beautiful flowers and plants

-are an easy solution for renters, urban dwellers, and those who habitate small spaces themselves.

They just require a little pre-planning, designing decisions and the proper resources.

You really can grow a surprising amount of food, in very small and limited confines, with a little knowledge of the right soil, adequate sunlight, a place to plant with proper drainage, along with some clever planning and design strategy.

Radishes,

Onions,

Lettuce,

Cucumbers,

Tomatoes,

and More...

Is all this talk about growing your own, organic fresh vegetables making you hungry?

Now is a great time to get started on planting your own, small space garden, and you'll have fresh herbs and vegetables growing in no time!
