So with the promise of a new greenhouse and some seeds planted on Sunday, I decided I would order some hydroponic kit. I have no power in greenhouse so I have decided to order two different things to help me grow my vegetables.
My first purchase was from Greenhouse Sensation which I read about in the Kitchen Garden magazine. I bought a Solargrow with Solar Panel, Holiday Watering Kit and Frame. Not cheap at £99.95 but I hope it will return the cost over the long term. Hopefully, when it arrives and yields lots of lovely food, I will update here. I also bought a Holiday Watering Kit which I hope will keep the plants going while I am away.
On the same website, my eye was caught by their Windowgrow product which looks very interesting and might look well on the window sill of the kitchen. It's a passive hydroponic system for herbs and lettuces and the like. It was more cost effective at just £26.90. My wife likes to buy herbs from the supermarket so hopefully I can keep these alive better or even grow them myself so I might cover my cost in about six months or so :-) We'll see....
I also purchased and Easy2Grow Kit (GGR90130) from the Centre for Alternative Technology. This was a special offer and represented very good value at just £20.00. Again it's a passive hydroponic system, I think.
Right now, I am a little concerned that my enthusiasm is getting the better of me so I best not buy or write any more.
