新车间 [XinCheJian]

The planter built a week ago is doing well on my balcony. Here is the before and after photos.

A week ago

Today

把气泡石条固定在底网的地下，感谢Rocket的简易，把出气面朝下，这样可以有效的避免水里面的杂质阻塞气石。 切了一小段的PVC管，做为水深度的指标，固定在底网上。 用另外一段的PVC管子来保护气管不被陶粒挤压。 菜盆这样就准备好了。 先放把大的陶粒，最后2CM放小的陶粒，最上面小的陶粒的主要用途是固定植物，和防止阳光的热和光传到营养液中，造成营养液温度太高以及绿藻成长。 混合了15升的营养液，把一些黄瓜，向日葵移植到水耕菜盆里面，打开气泵。 制作后的感想，建议大家制作的时候，先把大的陶粒放到营养液里面，打开气泵，盖上盖子24小时后，让大的陶粒充分吸收水分，沉淀到底部，再铺上小的陶粒。不然陶粒会在移植的时候漂浮到表面上。 ]]>

After another one week, we got pretty good seedling with strong roots; transplant was completed this evening with great support from Roger.

More details will be shared on this Wednesday evening XCJ meetup; stay still and get your nose ready 🙂

instead of traditional seedling from seeds, we are trying to grow roots in water and coconut peat bases from fresh oregano plant (stems with leaves). after 1 week, more than 50% oregano has grown its own roots. finding: – oregano grows taller with more leaves in coconut peat than in water,but with less and smaller roots – in the same water base, oregano grows more and roots with lightening compares to those under sunlight.

Roger Mu who presented his home farm a few weeks ago just sent a few pictures to share. Some pretty nice tomatoes
