Ah. You can do a LOT in a 3 x 6 patio. Any grass or soil?
No it's all concrete
I've seen the raised beds catching on quite a bit, any particular reason ?
Well sir, I suggest raised beds. Do it cheap - the only thing you need to invest in is good soil, soil additices, and seed/starter plants
Benefots of raised beds: let me list them.....
Yeah I guess that is a way to get around the whole no soil issue
Aeration of coil, drainage (prevent root rot) of soil, root health/spreading (great for edible plants), lower soil compaction, improved weed control (plant closer than normal, easier weeding), no-till, no root-run (where your plants content with roots from trees, other plants), easier pest control, higher yeild, ability to plant closer together,
I recommend inexpensive containers. Free 5 gallon buckets? Grow peppers, corn, tomatos, celery, etc. Smaller containers work also. I use a cheap solution for good soil: Quality organic gardening soil & Black Kow organic manure compost
Also, you can more easily manage your soil, insofar as nutrients.
Hey there.
HEY B, what's up my RPi Kneegrow?
Going well. Have yet to get the screen.
When I get paid then I will get it.
Probably just get a HDMI cable and then something to convert the HDMI to a non HDMI setting
cheap HDMI monitors
Thanks.
no worries, i googled 'cheap hdmi monitor raspberry pi' and found that advert
Just learned a French Doctor is encouraging Rape.
I am coordinating w/ someone in Canada.
send link. /pol/
@Hunter.S.Rabbit that's awesome I'll have to start gathering supplies
@Hunter.S.Rabbit and the 5 gallon buckets is also a good idea
Cheapest places to get building materials: Resturaunts often get produce in plastic crates/trays. You can get a ^4 pack of 12" zip ties sttach them and make a raised bed.
Hahaha yeah that's is pretty simple would've never thought of it
When I worked at Hardee's a few years ago the bread came in like 3x3 plastic crates in stacks of 10 maybe I'll stop by sometime
Drill holes in the bottoms for drainage, no need, if you're using god soil for more than 18" soil depth. So, if you can put in hooks above your patio, you can go with upside-down tomato growing... 5 gallon bucket, hole cut in bottom, plant hanging upside down out of the bucket....Maybe use a cheap trellis netting.... You can do this with any plant. Smaller buckets work also.
It would have to be a pre grown tomato plant huh? Or can you do the upside down method starting with seeds?
Make sure it is something with enough holes (if you are stacking shallow containters) that the deep roots can get around. The first 6" of root is mist important, some plants may send out roots up to 24" deep. If you're using good soil, a depth of 16-20 is A-OK for a raised bed on concrete
Nope, use a starter plant. If you like cherry tomatos, I reccomend the HUSKY varieties. 1. Check Menards for Husky breed of cherry T's., then the others, Home Depot I find is more expensive generally
Hanging tomatoes, as long as the hanging container is 12" deep and 10-12" across. You want to research on the hanging ones.
So the plastic doesn't leech chemicals into the soil? My only hesitation w/ using plastic.
I used a newspaper paper, wood and wire gardening box design for my garden idea once. Only problem was that a giant weed managed to kill my plants 👿
Oh well. Ill go hydroponic.
I've done raised beds before. 4X4. 24 in.deep. Only prob w natural wood is termite attraction. Sucks to build something and then have to tear it down. I refuse to use treated wood. Told myself that my next one will be stone. Plastic concerns me as it goes through intense heat and water, which means chemicals will get into the soil. Do they have BPA free buckets?
I am not too sure. And my last grow was literally in my yard (of which the soil is desert soil but I specifically grew the plants in a lawn soil).
Again though a weed managed to kill my plants 👿
The 😁 you get when we turn (((their))) propaganda against (((them)))
