I checked it out the other day. <br />Just so you have the greenhouse level, you shouldn't run into alot of the pain-in-the-ass problems that I did.<br />I just did a major greenhouse cleaning and took the plumbing out, the trash-can-reservoir(and filled in the hole) and took out the nft fence post system and moved it to the new greenhouse setup. Im going to be re-thinking a new setup. Heat is too big of an issue here in florida.<br /><br />Another tip dont grow too many different types of plants in the greenhouse. When things get too crowed in there, chores become a nightmare and usually causes delay in many things.<br /><br />Plan the reservoir placement carefully. Mixing large amounts of nutrients and checking it daily & modifying it can also turn into something you dont want to do when the reservoir is in an odd/hard-to-get-to place. The heat is always a major issue with my reservoir placement, so I had to make a trade off by putting it in the ground (had to get on my knees to check it, but the water didnt get in the 90's any more)<br /><br />Now that I have my greenhouse cleaner and stuff out of there, its a much easier work environment :)<br /><br />I am going to do a blog posting soon about my Summer experiences, etc pretty soon.<br /><br />Good luck on your hydroponic greenhouse journey =)FL Urban Hydroponicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369520802862606884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452268940793765760.post-71997396992407494382010-09-28T19:47:23.347-07:002010-09-28T19:47:23.347-07:00UHGU just got our first plants in the Greenhouse w...UHGU just got our first plants in the Greenhouse we just built...I expect we'll be sending a lot of questions your way as we go ;-) Be sure to check in on our progress.ProZachJhttp://urbanhydro.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452268940793765760.post-31968483395819796582010-09-25T08:35:07.762-07:002010-09-25T08:35:07.762-07:00lol.
I heard that the ph of the pine needles are ...lol.<br /><br />I heard that the ph of the pine needles are acidic, but I assume that this should only effect the soil once the pine needles break down after a while. Hopefully that since these are very fresh needles, they shouldn't mess with the soil ph too much. All the plants I have mulched with the pine needles seems to not be minding it. Tomatoes are doing very well and out-performing all the others outside. <br />But I grew these pretty big in the greenhouse before moving them outside, so Im sure that played a big part in their current healthiness.FL Urban Hydroponicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369520802862606884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452268940793765760.post-89989504675401575512010-09-25T05:02:59.986-07:002010-09-25T05:02:59.986-07:00I like the "mad scientist" look of your ...I like the "mad scientist" look of your greenhouse with plumbing running everywhere.
