For all who love gardening (and who don't)

[fccool]

I very recently got into Hydroponics and Areroponics... and it's really cool! I absolutely love it. I did not really intend to grow anything but wheatgrass, but I came across this book by accident...

http://www.howtohydroponics.com/

And it really opened my eyes to some pretty cool stuff. I like new technology, and this one rocks. I must admit that I had no idea.

Nevertheless, I am more into aeroponics now... and I am interested in the technical side of it. I've built a couple of rigs, and will be building more for the indoors stuff for now. But, I think it's a good way to get kids into gardening all year around. And it's fairly cheap, and pays off in the end. I've built a DIY aeroponic system for $50.

Are any of you guys into this stuff? I'd like to see a subforum for this (or gardening). Perhaps there is one already.

Disney World has a garden from which they get a lot of the fresh vegetables used in their restaurants. One can take a tour of the garden where they have a aeroponic system fro growing lettuce. The plants are on a rotating thing that goes around and around, getting the roots wet in fertilized water then taking them out, over and over. It's fascinating to see.

I picked up an old booklet on hydroponics which shows how to grow using 3inch plastic pipe three high and pumping the solution through the system with a pump and timer...Should be inexpensive to make. If anyone is interested PM me.
