I have some leftover 1 1/4" PVC pipe. I'm watching so I can do this in the fall for some winter squash and tomatoes in a large cold frame hoop house.

We had several days in the mid 80's plus and out of the clear blue we are seeing day temps in the mid 60's and lows back in the 40's. That's just not right.

Way down here in deep deep south the temps dropped into the low 40's. Old man winter is dying hard this year. Stinking ice age.

I'd really like to study for a way to use clean disease free soil and circulation to also grow tomatoes and peppers. Both are so susceptible to disease it should be worth the cost of setting it up. I think soil grown tastes better than hydroponic. Hydroponic is more disease free. The way you are...

Yes it all turned out fine. They had to find a way to divert excess water from just heavy rains. I think they must have got a good deal on the property no knowing about the hardpan subsoil. 20 acres of palms is worth a lot of $'s once they are grown to a more mature size on the FL east coast.

Having been certified in landscape irrigation in a previous life I want to do a strawberry garden that is vertical using low volume drip. I did learn a valuable lesson using drip once. The system was soundly designed. The calculation as to how long the system needed to run was off by some bit...

$5.99 at TSC for red or white buckets. They have lids too. Lids are an add on and priced separately.

TSC has food grade buckets for a lot less... They did last year. I have bought food grade from Lowes. Possibly Harbor Freight. Not sure about Home Depot. I think they were about a $ more than a standard bucket.

A question about wicking? Is this the same thing or a type of hydroponic growing?

A friend in TN planted about 3 acres of this for Monarch butterflies. I never saw a single on as this was the first year it bloomed. Honey bees were plentiful.

I'm going to plant milkweed as a fence line border to attract more pollinators like honey bees. While in the tassel stage sweet corn is a big pollinator favorite. I planted Fordhook Lima beans two years ago and got no beans. They bloomed their hearts out but did not make any beans. Not far in...

Following along. I like to learn new things. I've not had squash bugs where we are now knock on wood. I am planting some new squash this year. I've never seen yellow summer squash that grow on a vine. I'm going to use a cattle panel to let them climb on. I will be watching for the bugs for sure.
