I have been interested in hydroponics and growing fruit, vegetables, and herbs using hydroponics systems for some time now. My main aim at the moment is to build a sustainable system to be able to grow plants using hydroponics indoors methods.
What I’m particularly interested in is growing radish, because they take up only a small amount of space, grow very rapidly, and mature rapidly as well. My aim is to be able to grow radish in a small system, with a few plants that are slightly staggered, to be able to provide a continuous supply of them.
I am going to use a simple water culture system. This means that the plants will float on top of hydroponic nutrient solution and be aerated from beneath with a small aquarium pump. That’s it! There won’t be the need to water the plants as they will be in continuous contact with the nutrients, and as the nutrients and water are used up, the plants will continue to float on top of them.
I’m really looking forward to starting this system, and then look at using a similar method to grow a home herb garden, and other vegetable container gardens.
