#aptgarden update

The window gets some new #basil from seed as the old basil and rosemary keep going.

#aptgarden update. Some amount of reorganizing/consolidation.

#Hoocho buckets on a metal pipe frame. Sealed Hoocho buckets under each for water/nutrients. The water wicks up via cotton rope/ the coco coir medium

5 gal bucket, 4 gal water jug w/Hoocho buckets on top . Easy to maintain and great for longer term grows .

The #masonjar #kratky vessels keep going. They are some of the easiest , long lasting, low maintenance methods for short /mid term herbs/greens.

Not shown, sprouting trays

ADEPTAPRIL/NOV30

Mistigram: from food storage and preservation to use as a vase or pencil holder or very small pot for a houseplant, the humble #MasonJar has so many potential applications it’s a marvel it only gets one day and not an entire month. This #ANSIart screen was drawn by AdeptApril.

Thanks to @ShaulaEvans and @VickiWoodward for the idea for this. Glass mason jar, silicone mesh for net cup, wicking string...add a covering, grow medium ( I like coco coir), water, nutrients, and seeds. All the base materials are reusable.

Folding the mesh without cuts is still something that needs work as the lid needs a bit of "nudges". Think origami.

(Old net cup on the mesh square for scale)

Edit...added finished jar with tomato sprout 🌱
