#Garden plans made, going into my raised beds: potatoes, parsnips, beetroot, celeriac, sweetcorn, tomatoes and Brussel sprouts. I was going to try courgettes in some pots due to space.

Also thinking of doing a #hydroponic experiment again this year, last year I tried #aeroponics but might try a hydroponic wall with lettuce etc.

Potatoes are no longer just underground crops! At a Haryana institute, scientists are growing potatoes in mid-air using aeroponics — a soil-free method that prevents disease and boosts seed production. A glimpse into the future of farming. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/multimedia/videos/haryana-scientists-potatoes-soil-aeroponic-technology-qqk6hiqe?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Aeroponics #PotatoFarming #HaryanaAgriculture #SustainableFarming
Ube butter mochi made with homemade, homegrown Hella Jelly cannaoil. I'm running out of flower until the next harvest, so these have been my main driver recently.

The purple color of the ube plus the green of the cannaoil create this cool blueish color. I don't think that's how color theory works but tell it to the edibles.

Could urban farming feed the world?
From back gardens to hi-tech #hydroponics, the future of food doesn’t have to be rural

Urban agriculture (UA) covers everything from hi-tech approaches such as vertical farming and soil-free processes such as #hydroponics, #aeroponics and #aquaponics, to guerrilla gardening on the urban fringe.

What are those holes? Are those from pests?

No, it's expanded clay marks. Turns out that if you naively pack the expanded clay balls in a planting cup for #aquaponics #hydroponics or #aeroponics, the plant can suffocate and die. This is how it looks like when it happens. That's why my book recommended adding some coco fibers or other soft filler material to the cups. I ignored it.

One of my recent projects has been creating a #solar powered #aeroponics (similar to #hydroponics) 3D printed vertical tower #garden.

It uses a popular modular #3dprinted tower design where water is pumped up a central column and allowed to cascade down over the roots of the growing plants.

Usually people attach their towers to mains but I wanted to make it solar powered and also report data back to my home #grafana dashboard.

Finally got round to documenting the progress - https://git.solarcene.community/smallsolar/VerticalGarden

Adding to my #solarpunk bingo card, just had to service my #aeroponics system as noticed the pump wasn't activating.

Will write up the project soon
