This is so important for everyone on this fragile planet, if we can grow even just enough at home to feed our families and anyone struggling in our community we should be thankful and grateful. I live in Scotland Uk and we have no full sun for so much of the year so I use grown lights for my hydroponics, but this system is so simple for so many people . Bless you for sharing ❤️
Another way to get warmth for your plants create a small hot house for them. This is how the bigger Hydroponic growers do it. Just a suggestion. I live in Australia, The way the so called powers are tampering with our weather it is difficult to get the photo synthesis. Hot housing is also a way of the Chemical trails not contaminating your food and soil.
@@usewisdom2 That's what brings me here to learn how to grow my own food! But I've been skeptical about the hydroponic method because the nutritious solution could be an issue.
This guy is incredible. He loves to grow his own food and passes on his knowledge to us. He rocks, to my mind. He makes me want to grow food, and I live in a flat with no garden 🤣
You can grow indoors if you have LED lights with full spectrum wavelengths. They will be available at any hardware store. Try to find 4 ft shop lights. They are not very expensive. There is a lot of info on led growing lights online. They do not heat up a room and are very low energy cost.
Also, you can cut all but 2-3 leaves off each plant instead. This encourages further plant growth & is great if you're out of seedlings. I re-cut each plant for only a month because the lettuce can become sorta bitter. I hope this helps someone out & Happy Gardening! :)
You new generation farmers are killing nutrients in food crops. I bought carrot the other time, it was so orange in color and fresh and meaty that I couldn't wait to eat it. As soon as I took a bite, I became worried. It was flavorless and tasteless. I was eating carrot that tasted like water. Carrots are supposed to be sweetish with a very strong carrot flavour Same thing with garlic. Garlic ought to have a really strong garlic flavour but the garlic in the market these days is so mild in flavor that you wonder what horror profit driven greedy farmer are doing to our food crops! I can't be the only one noticing how mild our fruits and veggies are getting in flavour?? Profit is not all there is to life. Food nutrients in plant should always trump profit. You are planting crops in water and reaping flavorless and nutrientless harvest! Even okra, onions, pineapples, strawberries etc are beginning to taste like water. Change your ways. Grow food in the ground. Grow food crops in soil not in water Use organic manure. Stop being lazy. Spread the word!!
Thought it was hard after learning it in class 10...took me 3 years to realise how dumb i was and how simple it could be... thanks for this video loved the narration the editing knowledge, everything in itself is basic but this is simply a complete video💞
If we use the commercial products, hydroponics will seem to be complicated and even expensive. But if we use these DIY ideas, we can realize, it's actually reasonable and definitely we can try it at home.
Dislikes can have lots of reasons. From "that's not the plant I wanted to grow" and "I was looking for a different solution" to anything else. 700k views to not even 500 dislikes currently is below average. Not everything has to be business related or racist. Even clicking or tapping the wrong thing can happen.
I have two suggestions to improve growth cycle. Install a aquarium air pump with diffuser, this will greatly improve oxygen to water. Also check your pH of water, you can fine tune the growing cycle depending on oh. Even the temperature of water will improve overall growth!
Those suggestions make this process far more complicated, and far more expensive. And, it is a completely different method of hydroponic growing. One which I haven’t the time or inclination to explain to you. (Perhaps you can even suggest how this man could electrify this greenhouse, which probably has no electric service, at the moment. Yeah, I’m waiting for THAT suggestion.) You REALLY didn’t “get” the entire idea surrounding this “inexpensive” and “low-tech” hydroponic growing idea. So much for YOUR critical thinking skills.
@@1wldnczyguy and air pump you can pick up for under 8 bucks at Walmart. The air diffuser is under 3 bucks. So that makes it more expensive? What's with you? You must be one unhappy individual on this planet!
@@eviebivens5353 right that is called agua ponics . You create a a habitat for fish, and the fish waste is food for the plants. For this to work, you first get the plants started in advance. I have helped a man set up two ibc containers. Where one is growing food, the other is raising tilapia. The fish waste make the nutrients to grow food. The plants clean and filter the water for the fish!

After moving to Brisbane Australia I found it impossible to grow anything in the harsh sun, even the grass gave up. After watching your no nonsense video I was so impressed I followed your instructions, placed the lettuce plants in a semi shaded spot and waited for them to die. But they didn't! They grew up healthy and tasty, with none of the bitter undertones that shop bought lettuce can have. Not believing my luck I tried again with the same good results. Since then I have successfully grown tomatoes, peppers, zucchini and mint with my only failure being a batch of lettuce that I left in the sunny part of the garden. All the plants struggled in the sun despite having lots of water. So many thanks coming to you from Brisbane, for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Looks like a winner! I also use food grade hydrogen peroxide at 3% to avoid mold growth. Maybe it's the colder area I live in but it seems to be a problem for me. H202 sprayed on maybe only once or twice really helps my sprouts too.
have you considered the use of a small air pump and stone, like the use in a fish tank, to keep the water aerated and in motion, to prevent the water going stale, and of course providing oxygen to the water.. i use this method in other methods of hydroponics, and is very effective. nice video by the way..
You can add any water-soluble fertiliser. Just make sure that the brand you buy contains micronutrients and minerals that your plant would have gotten from soil, like zinc and iron.
Seaweed it the best yet there are many more fertilisers you can use tomato or make your own, with dead leaves from trees fruits or veg, and water, just let the old fallen leaves melt down in the water and use the water for any plants.
I saw somewhere banana soaked in water overnight and use that water as fertilizer so very litrle cost. Havent tried it myself but might be worth a try. Also NPK ... I am about to try these options.
hi great video this was really helpfull! i do have a question. if you use this same method and when harvesting the crops. is it okey if you just pick the leaves you want and just leave the rest of the plant so it can just grow new leaves instead of planting new seedlings?
I have seen many videos on Hydroponics but this is the best video for beginners like me! Thank you so much for this! One question - can you please provide a link or description for the plastic sheet used as a lid here? What is it called exactly? I am trying to find such a sheet without luck.
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm curious how this will work for me. I have a cloning machine that I grow a lot of different things in. Usually works great and it looks like the same difference.
Hello just want to ask if the taste never change after 30 days? i mean you have grown it for 60 days, is the taste still good? No bitter taste due to maturity? Thank you
To plant a garden is to believe in the Tomorrow .... Gardening is a talent and you have amazing talent in gardening and a lot of experience you teach us always new techniques in gardening I really appreciate your work Keep up the good work always Bro # Happy Gardening
Cutting square holes in the plastic top is cumbersome. Using a perforated bin or colander, sightly larger than the water bowl, will do the trick... as long as water touches the bottom of the top container. All you need to do is to line it with cocoa peat, which once moist, will plug the holes but will permit the roots to reach water and continue to grow. For spunach, salad greens, Boc Choy or Napa Cabbage, all of which spread out, growing them individually in 2-liter or larger water bottles, cut in half with top (after msking holes) inverted in the base works great. Darkening the bottom halfwill prevent algae growth. Regardless, you need to make sure that the water reservoir... whether a bottle or a bowl ... is made of the food-grade BPA-free plastic. The water must be changed every 2 weeks to prevent bacterial growth, and each time must replenish nutrients by adding liquid Seaweed or fish emulsion.
Wow, this is the first one I have seen that's a hydroponic form of gardening without using a pump. I thought about this but many told me not to because it would over water the plants, but yours look great!!! Incredible work.
Amazing .. just $1! Thank you very much. I've been looking at all the complex hydroponic videos and was feeling overwhelmed. You are the best. Can it be done getting roots on hydrangea cuttings before planting in soil?
I think the coco coir allows for more root growth as it is lighter in weight than stones would be but I’m only logically guessing as I’ve never used rocks or stones or coco coir to grow anything hydroponically.
Can u please suggest which winter flower plants can we put in stackable flower planter? I believe those plants should have shallow roots?? Please suggest??
Thank you for the video it's awesome .my question to you ,some people put like a bubbler or something to move the water so it doesn't sit stagnant is that necessary🤔 or the simple way you have it does the water get stagnant 🤔thank you for your help and thank you for the simple way of explaining things May you and your family stay safe & Blessed in these bad times 🥰
Can you please Sir one day give us a tour of your garden!! I'm so eager to see how much one can do in small or container garden! Thank you Sir!! Your fan, all the way from Africa!
I appreciate this, you showing us how to do this so cheaply with this very pleasant video. I was looking for a way to create an indoor garden with less pests, and this looks very workable, and very affordable. I will just add grow lights and it should work fine.
I used to do this technique. It's also called Kratky Hydroponics. I used hydroponic food and just allowed plants to drink the water all the way down. Their roots keep growing to reach down. No need to change water in this situation when planning on harvesting within 1 to 2 months. His use of the plastic seed starting trays was brilliant! I spent money on those hydroponic net pots unnecessarily. Instead of a bowl and plastic sheet. I used 8-inch deep opaque storage bins. I had to get a fancy drill bit for cutting circles in the top, but it looked really nice. I was able to just grow under 4 regular shop lights about 1 to 2 feet from top of bin. Easiest and tastiest salads I have grown. I have moved homes and don't have room for storing my grow stuff conveniently. But, if I can ever figure it out, I will be back to growing this way. I am done fighting with the grass, weeds, bugs, animals outside. You can easily grow greens and herbs under shop lights. Tomatoes and other fruiting plants need to be under special pink LED lights as those lights and stored in a grow tent with ventilation. When growing those fruiting items indoors, I would make sure the lights came on at night instead of during the day. Please if you are on the fence on this method, give it a try. I could never feel I was handy enough to do other hydroponic methods with running water and tubes, etc. If I can do this method, anyone can. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us!!
Fantastic idea. But sir, I'm not getting enough germination in this season. Do you have a video on how to get germination in the summer for lettuce and other leefy plants.
Mucho mahalo for this wonderful & simple method. You’ve encouraged me to divert from all those costly “systems”. I have tons of seedlings that I now can afford to keep all of them. Mahalo Nui Loa… from Hawaii \o/ rejoicing!!!!
I have recently bought so many veg seeds to grow, we live in uncertain times, it’s good to be prepared for whatever comes our way. I am so happy I stumbled apon your channel, you make things simple ( for even me lol ) Thank you 🙏🏻 from Australia 🇦🇺
Wow... I'm so impressed by the simplicity ❤️❤️❤️!!! Right now more than ever we need to become food independent and in the winter it's a bit tough in northern climates . I love this! Thank you for sharing.
No, if you cut off all of the foliage, the roots will just rot. In order to reuse the cuttings, you would need to leave some of the foliage AND remove much of the root system. Remember, plants naturally have root systems that are equivalent in size to their foliage. So, you want your new cuttings to have close to the same amount of foliage as roots. The better approach is to be preparing new cuttings before you harvest your existing plants. It's less work and less stress on the plants.
Greetings, this is my second time around watching your video as a refresher.it's good info showing how those without space can still garden for almost free.
Nice information You are making difficult things look easy I have used even vermicompost and kitchen compost tea for hydroponics @ 30-50 ml per litre - they worked well I am planning to use some cultures like azotobacter for my bean plants - @ 1ml per litre and see what happens
This is wonderful!!!this by far the easiest and cheapest I seen !! I really want to do this, but there are many mosquitos in Florida, afraid the water would draw them
Thanks for sharing this method... I have also done this similar way.. 1 question I have is after some days .. this cocopeat has a layer of fungus comes on cocopeat surface.... Is it possible that this cocopeat gets damaged after some time
anything to replace the seaweed concentrate? I don't live in a country with easy access to things like this, I need something plentiful or natural, easy to get or make

I'll probably have to get a grow light but that's fine. the rest of the things I already have around the house. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing, informative video and your gorgeous pup was a bonus. :)
What material is the board to allow it to be durable through the season so close to moisture?
I always have such a hard time growing lettuce, this looks like a sure fire way, for sure will try it.
Happy Gardening 😊🤝
Do we need to rinse the cocopeat before using it?
That's the cleverest thing I have seen in a very long time.
You new generation farmers are killing nutrients in food crops.
I bought carrot the other time, it was so orange in color and fresh and meaty that I couldn't wait to eat it.
As soon as I took a bite, I became worried. It was flavorless and tasteless. I was eating carrot that tasted like water. Carrots are supposed to be sweetish with a very strong carrot flavour
Same thing with garlic. Garlic ought to have a really strong garlic flavour but the garlic in the market these days is so mild in flavor that you wonder what horror profit driven greedy farmer are doing to our food crops!
I can't be the only one noticing how mild our fruits and veggies are getting in flavour??
Profit is not all there is to life. Food nutrients in plant should always trump profit.
You are planting crops in water and reaping flavorless and nutrientless harvest!
Even okra, onions, pineapples, strawberries etc are beginning to taste like water.
Change your ways.
Grow food in the ground.
Grow food crops in soil not in water
Use organic manure.
Stop being lazy.
Spread the word!!
Looks like a winner! I also use food grade hydrogen peroxide at 3% to avoid mold growth. Maybe it's the colder area I live in but it seems to be a problem for me. H202 sprayed on maybe only once or twice really helps my sprouts too.
have you considered the use of a small air pump and stone, like the use in a fish tank, to keep the water aerated and in motion, to prevent the water going stale, and of course providing oxygen to the water.. i use this method in other methods of hydroponics, and is very effective. nice video by the way..
Nice suggestion. Will get a aquarium air pump soon and try. Thanks
No need for any of that. That is why he left an inch of space for the air roots to grow.
Whant can i use instead of sea weed concentrate?
Can i use npk 19 19 19?
Or cow dug?
Sir does it worth "economically speaking" to grow all of them if we have to add the seaweed nutrient?
I saw some suggestions about using npk
You can add any water-soluble fertiliser. Just make sure that the brand you buy contains micronutrients and minerals that your plant would have gotten from soil, like zinc and iron.
Seaweed it the best yet there are many more fertilisers you can use tomato or make your own, with dead leaves from trees fruits or veg, and water, just let the old fallen leaves melt down in the water and use the water for any plants.
I saw somewhere banana soaked in water overnight and use that water as fertilizer so very litrle cost. Havent tried it myself but might be worth a try. Also NPK ... I am about to try these options.
great video, thank u.... can I use hydroponic system for my Aloe vera and snake plants..?
hi great video this was really helpfull! i do have a question. if you use this same method and when harvesting the crops. is it okey if you just pick the leaves you want and just leave the rest of the plant so it can just grow new leaves instead of planting new seedlings?
Ya sure ...harvest outer most leaves only ...n plant will continue to grow
@@urbangardeningofficial okay thank you very much!
@@urbangardeningofficial good afternoon! Love you tutorial! I can't find the link to the liquid seaweed? Thanks
I have seen many videos on Hydroponics but this is the best video for beginners like me! Thank you so much for this! One question - can you please provide a link or description for the plastic sheet used as a lid here? What is it called exactly? I am trying to find such a sheet without luck.
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm curious how this will work for me. I have a cloning machine that I grow a lot of different things in. Usually works great and it looks like the same difference.
Great 💐😃
What is a cloning machine ?
Hello just want to ask if the taste never change after 30 days? i mean you have grown it for 60 days, is the taste still good? No bitter taste due to maturity? Thank you
To plant a garden is to believe in the Tomorrow ....
Gardening is a talent and you have amazing talent in gardening and a lot of experience you teach us always new techniques in gardening
I really appreciate your work
Keep up the good work always Bro

I've got no talent but my food plants don't know this and keep growing😷😊🍅🍓
Plants only needs love n care ...n they will reward you for that ..thanks for the constant love n support.cheers 🙏🤝 happy gardening
Cutting square holes in the plastic top is cumbersome. Using a perforated bin or colander, sightly larger than the water bowl, will do the trick... as long as water touches the bottom of the top container. All you need to do is to line it with cocoa peat, which once moist, will plug the holes but will permit the roots to reach water and continue to grow.
For spunach, salad greens, Boc Choy or Napa Cabbage, all of which spread out, growing them individually in 2-liter or larger water bottles, cut in half with top (after msking holes) inverted in the base works great. Darkening the bottom halfwill prevent algae growth.
Regardless, you need to make sure that the water reservoir... whether a bottle or a bowl ... is made of the food-grade BPA-free plastic. The water must be changed every 2 weeks to prevent bacterial growth, and each time must replenish nutrients by adding liquid Seaweed or fish emulsion.
Blessings for more info. 250 mo See weed is $= 30+ tax expensive salad
Can I use water from my fish tank and skip the fertilizer? Thank you 🙏🏻
that sounds good. Waste water from fish tanks has a lot of nutrients
Wow, this is the first one I have seen that's a hydroponic form of gardening without using a pump. I thought about this but many told me not to because it would over water the plants, but yours look great!!! Incredible work.
Jen it’s called kratky method
This looks like a great introduction to hydroponics.
Amazing .. just $1!
Thank you very much.
I've been looking at all the complex hydroponic videos and was feeling overwhelmed. You are the best. Can it be done getting roots on hydrangea cuttings before planting in soil?
This is a great tutorial, I’m curious the difference with using cocoa peat vs the stones?
I think the coco coir allows for more root growth as it is lighter in weight than stones would be but I’m only logically guessing as I’ve never used rocks or stones or coco coir to grow anything hydroponically.
Can u please suggest which winter flower plants can we put in stackable flower planter? I believe those plants should have shallow roots?? Please suggest??
You have the best TH-cam gardening channel , you make very good edit ,you have also very good ideas ,love from Greece!👍👍👍♥️
Thank you for the love n support 💐🤝
Thank you for the video it's awesome .my question to you ,some people put like a bubbler or something to move the water so it doesn't sit stagnant is that necessary🤔 or the simple way you have it does the water get stagnant 🤔thank you for your help and thank you for the simple way of explaining things May you and your family stay safe & Blessed in these bad times 🥰
Great Job, Very interesting ,clear explanations, does not look difficult, Thanks, friend. I will start shortly and keep you guys informed.
This is really interesting! All other video make it seem like a water pump is necessary...ive never seen something this simple with no pump!
Can you please Sir one day give us a tour of your garden!! I'm so eager to see how much one can do in small or container garden! Thank you Sir!! Your fan, all the way from Africa!
Hope you are doing ok in Africa and can help others learn to grow and share food😷☺🍅🍓 from Wales
Nicer Ahmed should have cut more holes..the plants are stagnant due to lack of holes
haha i was just going to comment the same. i really want a tour too!
@@luvwins641 thanks! We are ok! Trying to comply with #stayhome although it's tough, hence things like gardening keeps me sane!
@@ifukill7538 thank dear from Wales! We are doing fine! I'm still learning gardening hopefully I can grow enough to share! Stay safe!!
I appreciate this, you showing us how to do this so cheaply with this very pleasant video. I was looking for a way to create an indoor garden with less pests, and this looks very workable, and very affordable. I will just add grow lights and it should work fine.
May I know what exactly that sheet is called? Also, is there is any substitute or can you give us a link if it is available online?
I think it's a cardboard
I used to do this technique. It's also called Kratky Hydroponics. I used hydroponic food and just allowed plants to drink the water all the way down. Their roots keep growing to reach down. No need to change water in this situation when planning on harvesting within 1 to 2 months. His use of the plastic seed starting trays was brilliant! I spent money on those hydroponic net pots unnecessarily. Instead of a bowl and plastic sheet. I used 8-inch deep opaque storage bins. I had to get a fancy drill bit for cutting circles in the top, but it looked really nice. I was able to just grow under 4 regular shop lights about 1 to 2 feet from top of bin. Easiest and tastiest salads I have grown. I have moved homes and don't have room for storing my grow stuff conveniently. But, if I can ever figure it out, I will be back to growing this way. I am done fighting with the grass, weeds, bugs, animals outside. You can easily grow greens and herbs under shop lights. Tomatoes and other fruiting plants need to be under special pink LED lights as those lights and stored in a grow tent with ventilation. When growing those fruiting items indoors, I would make sure the lights came on at night instead of during the day. Please if you are on the fence on this method, give it a try. I could never feel I was handy enough to do other hydroponic methods with running water and tubes, etc. If I can do this method, anyone can. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us!!
Fantastic idea. But sir, I'm not getting enough germination in this season. Do you have a video on how to get germination in the summer for lettuce and other leefy plants.
U can grow summer vegetables such as spinach brinjal basil etc now
Mucho mahalo for this wonderful & simple method. You’ve encouraged me to divert from all those costly “systems”. I have tons of seedlings that I now can afford to keep all of them. Mahalo Nui Loa… from Hawaii \o/ rejoicing!!!!
The lettuce seeds you gifted me, I also grew those lettuce in Kratky method since I did not find soil anywhere my area
Great 💐
@@urbangardeningofficial bhai kuch seeds idhr b gift krdo...😅😅 flower plants k hi shi....🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@aakashb101 bhai main south Delhi se hun, mujhse le lena winter flowers seeds, abhi harvest kiye hain
Pls show how to grow spinach from seeds in water, with step by step details about nutrients required, how many days required, etc.
Also could you make a tutorial on the correct season for growing veggies and fruits??
The growth rate seems to be slow compared to my garden soil without any additives. Is there any healthy way to make the growth rate to be increased
I have recently bought so many veg seeds to grow, we live in uncertain times, it’s good to be prepared for whatever comes our way.
I am so happy I stumbled apon your channel, you make things simple ( for even me lol )
Thank you 🙏🏻 from Australia 🇦🇺
Wow... I'm so impressed by the simplicity ❤️❤️❤️!!! Right now more than ever we need to become food independent and in the winter it's a bit tough in northern climates . I love this! Thank you for sharing.
🤝💐
The lettuce that u cut from their roots, if u dont change seedling will they grow back again?
No, if you cut off all of the foliage, the roots will just rot. In order to reuse the cuttings, you would need to leave some of the foliage AND remove much of the root system. Remember, plants naturally have root systems that are equivalent in size to their foliage. So, you want your new cuttings to have close to the same amount of foliage as roots. The better approach is to be preparing new cuttings before you harvest your existing plants. It's less work and less stress on the plants.
Some vegetables do grow again some don't. Best to just try it. Or try leave a few leaves behind.
I would like to see a video of that.
But sir you have shifted a already germinated plant from soil to your hydroponics farm to grow , can't we use this setup from the seedlings stage?
Thanks for sharing the easy and cheapest way to do hydroponic gardening at home. I like it. Great work.
Thank you 😊 💐
Greetings, this is my second time around watching your video as a refresher.it's good info showing how those without space can still garden for almost free.
Thank you so much for this I will be trying it for sure...question can you go from seed or do you need to start seedlings and then transplant
Start with seedlings only
@@urbangardeningofficial ok thank you
I forwarded on to my husband - he will love this!!
I learned so much from this channel about growing plants
Thank you
Thanks 💐 happy gardening
Should the same amount of fertilizer be used in all cases of eggplant or ground????
It's awesome ,
Sir can we dierectly sow seeds instead of transplanting seedlings in hydroponics system
No it is better to start with seedlings
@@urbangardeningofficial Thank you! I also wondered about planting seeds in the hydroponics system!
what about sowing seeds and cover it with keeping an eye to moisture in it?
This video is really very very impressive, and even a layman can learn hydroponics. Love it.
That's a great idea to have lettuce year round. Nice. Janice
Thanks for sharing. Can i use FFJ or FPJ in place of the fertilizer you use?
thank you for sharing, the easiest, cheapest method I've seen, can't wait to get started!! Thank you:)
Nice information
You are making difficult things look easy
I have used even vermicompost and kitchen compost tea for hydroponics @ 30-50 ml per litre - they worked well
I am planning to use some cultures like azotobacter for my bean plants - @ 1ml per litre and see what happens
Sir, can we use compost tea in place of the store-bought nutrients?
I think you can but you have to observe the growth of your plants.
I love it! You can also add a submergible pump to circulate the water so you don’t need to change the water so often.
Thanks for the tip
Well I always wondered about this for years thank you for showing me
This is wonderful!!!this by far the easiest and cheapest I seen !! I really want to do this, but there are many mosquitos in Florida, afraid the water would draw them
I'm in a desert area. I want to try this method but also wondering how to keep the mosquitos out!
Thanks so Much! I'm definitely going to try this with my grandbabies girls!!💝
Thanks for sharing this method...
I have also done this similar way..
1 question I have is after some days .. this cocopeat has a layer of fungus comes on cocopeat surface....
Is it possible that this cocopeat gets damaged after some time
anything to replace the seaweed concentrate? I don't live in a country with easy access to things like this, I need something plentiful or natural, easy to get or make
Here in North Spain I can't get seaweed so I grow comfrey and use this.(100% natural).
You can use water from fish tank/aquarium
You can make your own ferlizer using litchen waste I do.there are many videos on you tube .
@@petlovers198 I did that before. You can almost watch it grow.
@@misst1586 yes right. Specially leafy veggies like kale, lettuce, spinach. They grow like crazy with fish water
This is the best and cheapest I have ever seen. So cool. Love
