    Looks nice. I've seen the pool noodles in another video. I did learn about the little window to check the water level. Great!

    Couldn't you just use amber colored jars since it blocks UV light? Will that work?

    • @TheFrugalHugelGardener
      @TheFrugalHugelGardener  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      probably, they purpose is to block out the light that will cause algae.

      I've been using amber colored jars to grow lettuce and I have never had problems with algae forming in the jars. My main light source are overhead LED lights .

    Can someone explain this TH-cam fascination with growing lettuce? Almost no nutritional value. Little flavor. No bulk.

      lettuce goes good with tomatoes as a salad.

    • @IAMGiftbearer
      @IAMGiftbearer 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Commercial lettuce you buy at the grocery store (especially iceburg lettuce) has little nutritional value, but if you grow lettuce yourself and choose the right varieties it has alot more. The more color it has the more nutrition it has generally, so red leaf lettuce varieties are a good choice. It also depends on what nutrients you give it.

      Romaine lettuce has much more nutritional value than iceberg. Same for the leaf lettuces.

      @@TheFrugalHugelGardener . If you don't want to let light in, isn't it defeating the purpose? I'm confused. I thought you couldn't have any light due to mildew

      @@barbarabergonzi8695Thanks Barbara, I was wondering the same thing. Seems it's just a waste of expensive black spray paint. I always read to just wrap the jar with a scrap of cloth or even using your cut up brown paper shopping bags secured with a rubber band. If algae eventually starts to grow inside the jar, just wash the jar out and wrap it back up. The pool noodle is a great idea, but I'm wondering what do you do when the stalk of the plant grows larger than the hole you first put it in? Guess you have to unwrap it from the plant and cut it shorter, then put it back in the pot?
