Have you seen the tower garden yet? th-cam.com/video/0bV6M6JDbu8/w-d-xo.html
mylar blankets work but there are larger and less expensive silver table coverings at dollar tree $1.25
hey Mike, I recently discovered your channel and just wanted to say thank you for being an inspiration 😊 because of you I now have lettuce seeds germinating for kratky. thanks so much.
Thanks Fran, that is so awesome for you to start!
thanks for the good word Mike (Turner)
No problem Turner, keep up the good work.
Will look awesome in the kitchen
I'd much prefer yours. Keep it simple.
I have been using the Mylar on the back of my grow racks for a little over a year, it works fantastic
I like the IKEA because you can grow during the winter
Great video as always Mike, thanks for sharing 👍 Happy Growin ✌️
Loving the video Mike! Glad to see your still killing it!
Hey Mike!! Good to see you bud! Keep up the hard work.
On watching Turner's channel (HeyOldMan1947) , he has this great tip of using a one size larger drill bit than is in the hole saw for cutting out the holes in ones downspouts. These cutout circles will now not stick to the inside of the hole saw cutter.
Start first with drilling with one size larger drill bit for the hole saw cutter drill bit. Once all the starting holes are drilled out in the downspouts, now use your hole saw cutter & with the drill in Reverse, of course, drill out the all of the round holes needed. Those round cutouts will now fall down into the downspout.
Has a lot of great tips. He also show how to make a heater that operates rather cheaply, watch "ep 5 The Makings of a heater for your Cold Frame and some tips and Tricks". So yes he is doing a terrific job in the hydroponic systems. Kudos goes to him. Check his videos out, he has hydroponics & gardening going for him. Anything from NFT, DWC, Krakty, cold frames, micro greens, lighting, air circulation, drip systems & even where to get a lower price on most of the products he has used. I like his setup rooms, especially using the unused hot tub itself. Would love to have just a small portion of his energy. Wonder if would taking those Balance Of Nature Fruits And Veggies Whole Food Supplements do the same thing??? :> )
Thank You for all the great information.
Awesome new video, thank you.
Cool setup
Those are sooooo pretty to look at
We used those on the walls of our grow closet to keep Avocado treelings and a pineapple plant alive in our terribly insulated tailor this winter, after the trees got zapped by frost inside the house we had to do something
I surround my grow shelves with ¼" craft foam board. I then wrap them in mylar. Both can be bought at dollar tree. The mylar I use the 84" plastic table cloths. They have every color black, mylar, etc.
Awesome! Thanks!
My gardens a good size, problem is the neighbors living behind me have an issue with me being alive since they moved in 2019 & destroy my garden plants flowers green house kids bikes 🚲. I need something neat for indoors so I can grow for my 3 teens & I.
those are some pretty cool looking boxes. Looks like they're very easy to use.
sounds like you're pretty busy with your own stuff, I guess that's a good problem to have! have a good one Mike.
Thanks Jeff. Yes, good problem to have. It means a lot more people growing their own food. Hope you are doing good.
Been using those blankets for many years in my grow room. Good job done on the new grow box. Just a heads up I will be MIA from watching YT. Burned slam out buddy.. Stay safe, I will check in now and then..
No problem. Take care CB, sending good vibes your way.
Mike that is a nice looking product, and great design for indoors versus downspouts for outdoors.
Thanks Matt! Hope you had a great Easter.
@@KeepOnGrowin Yes thank you, hope yours was good too. Appreciate you keeping up the work teaching others about Bernie's non-circulating hydroponics methods.
Hey Mike going to be doing my own kratky set got a 1gal water jugs. Paint them gray and drilling a 1/4 in hole near the top to seedling in. Have 2 right now with broccoli seedlings in it
Awesome!!!!
If you put the mylar sheet on the wall behind the tower the plants in the shade will grow much better. You may not have to rotate the towers.
Will I blind my neighbors? Lol
@@KeepOnGrowin Who cares! We have lettuce!!! 🤣
I'm fascinated by these downspout boxes!!
I have a small tent going in our basement using soil as the medium. One of the best organic ways to feed the plants is a heaping tbsp of alfalfa meal and a tbsp of kelp into a gallon of filtered water. I drop an airstone in and bubble it for 24 hrs. After, I strain it with a flour sifter. That nice green water causes explosive growth every time.
I'm wondering if that green water would work in those boxes (diluted with the existing water).
Thanks Rob! I might give that a try!
Love the hair do lol
Lol, thank you. Growing it out for the set. Going to make a short film and I need to be kinda shaggy.
Mike Thanks for your videos, very useful and important during these trouble times. Wonder what organic pesticides you use? I aslo live in Florida, and pests killed my to lettuce and tomatoes. Thanks. Humberto
Still watching your method.
I am a new subscriber Mike, and have been trying to binge watch your videos to start my own hydroponic setup this year. As an urban homesteader I am always trying to look at new ways to grow, and I honestly thought this was going to be hard, but thankfully you have shown me that anyone can start this. One question I have to ask, and maybe you have answered it in a video I haven't seen yet, but can you use the rock wool you can buy at the hardware store for home insulation as a growing medium?
Hey, I am not sure. I looked into it because of the cost savings but got conflicting opinions on which ones were treated with fire retardant.
Hey Mike! Love your content - you convinced me to start with my systems!
I am working with 3D printed end caps and I know that you’ve mentioned that they aren’t time efficient for you: would you be open to a conversation about it?
I think we can definitely decrease the time you spend making those end caps so you can focus on other things.
Thanks for what you do.
Right now I am currently working with someone on a prototype. I am always open to suggestions, you can email me at keepongrowin1@gmail.com
Joe D have you tried printing them on edge rather than flat, you should be able to get more out of one print than you would doing the same number laid flat. The best way would be injection molded, the parts would be pennies and you could produce hundreds of thousands of them, but the mold itself would be upwards of $5K
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
Help me to always be grounded and to always know my place and give me the ability to create for the betterment of all living beings.
Help me to digest emotions and external influences so that I’m able to differentiate between what is mine and what is others
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.
Great video! It's so wonderful that that you help others that are coming up with good ideas as well. I would like to know If there's some kind of attachment that I can attach to my rail outside I'd of my condo. I'm on the 3rd floor. BUT, I need to be able to remove the downspouts and put them inside when bad weather comes. So a tie back doesn't really work because I'll just have to keep cutting them. Any suggestions?
Velcro straps maybe. I am talking with someone and making a prototype of something to that effect. I love helping others, gets the whole world growing!!
Hope you don't mind me jumping in. But you can buy velcro strapping by the yard. I used it for cable tie backs and in my gardening. Its all over Amazon and the 1 inch size is really sturdy.
I bet 3 sections of velcro wrap would hold your down spouts to the rail and then be easily movable.
We use it on our pontoon to hold the fishing poles and to hold our floatation devices aka life jackets but in an emergency the velcro comes apart with no cutting. I have about half a roll somewhere round here as it comes I think, 25feet at a shot.
Hope this helps.
I couldn't find your downspout system on your Etsy.
I really love yours videos. Have learned so much about hydroponics and how to grow micro greens. Been doing this for about 3 months. Lately I discovering (water about 2 days old) that the water in the tubes has a slime look to it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much for your inspiration.
If your plants are ok, then it is all right. Is it algae or a film?
@@KeepOnGrowin Film
Use mirrors
Is it true that growing the Hydroponics system means not planting in dirt? So when the micro plant. Ii planted know the noodle round piece then placed 8m the nutrient liquid...it will grow and need to be transplanted....to a larger container but not dirt. Right or wrong.?? I just watched a Hooch video showing he has plants actually looks like they're in bags. I'm literally just now starting this blond and need to try the most basic way and grow from there. Am starting with the papertowl and plastic food containers I've been saving . I have way too many.
I start microgreens, sometimes in dirt, sometimes on a hydroponic grow mat. I transplant to a container with nutrient solution. Hoocho is growing many different ways.
Random question that you may have answered on a video I haven't seen yet, but what is your favorite variety of pak choi? I'm trying to decide what seeds to buy. 😅 Went out and bought some things today and waiting on everything else to be delivered that I ordered today to get started on the kratky method thanks to you! 🤞 Hopefully I don't kill everything, I have horrible luck (skill and experience) with plants. 🤣
Good luck Emily, I have faith in you! I used to be a terrible gardener. I like the shiro variety, anything with thick white stems.
@@KeepOnGrowin Thanks!!!
Are the downspouts food grade?
No
So where does one go to check those one kind box?
Look up One Kind Block on Facebook!
Crazy question. Stupid even but I’ll own it. What if you used black food coloring in your nutrient solution in any small clear container for little side grows?
That is actually a great idea to try out!
I used to work in a floral shop and They would use food coloring or wahatever it was to dye flowers. Like roses, carnations, etc. Dump it in the water and the flowers would soak it up and change color. Purdy cool! But I just wonder what doing that with veggie plants would do. Turn lettuce colors?? 🤔. Cant wait to see. 😁
😂🙏❣️
Cool setup
