Re: Familiar with Tucker's Pride Anywhere Garden?

[Guest guest]

I use my own seeds in my Aerogardens. I make seed " pods " from coir, or (insert

laugh here)-organic tampons. I just poke a hole in them and drop in my own

organic/gmo free seeds. You can also use organic cotton balls, or other growing

mediums. Also, I have about 10 or more aerogardens, and I didn't pay over 20

bucks a piece for them on Craigslist, and even got some for free off of

freecycle, just for the asking. Aerogardens are FANTASTIC, if you learn to bend

the rules and not believe that you MUST use their very expensive (and cheaply

made) seed kits.

plan on growing, but if it's for substantial produce, the Aerogarden is

limiting.

course, the cost reflects that.

Thanks ! I've been reading more online, and I think I'll give this a try

and make my own, rather than going out and spending $400-$500. You make it

sound pretty simple -- and I'd very much appreciate the directions whenever you

have time so I can get a better understanding as to how you are sitting up the

wicks, and the tubing.

This should be a fun project to get started on!

. I read your first line and burst out laughing.

Good ONe!!

P.S. You DO know what I'm referring to, right?

Hi ,

I have 2 aerogardens and have often wondered about the nutrients too. If

you ever find out what they actually use, organic or chemical, I would

appreciate knowing about it.

Also, while I have sourced my own organic/ non gmo seeds, what do you use

to house them, buying their seed pods are too expensive in the long run. In

the mean time, I am only doing container gardening.

I have some dried Seaweed (and the little nori things too) in my house. Can I

make my own Liquid Kelp out of those things. Can I take the dried seaweed, add

some spring water, bring to a boil (essentially make a tea out of it). Allow to

cool, AND DOES THAT BECOME LIQUID KELP?

Or how about taking some of the flavored little nori things, crumble them up and

add them to the Coco Coir?

Would that do ANYTHING beneficial?

Thanks, Melody

Yes...and NO. You can use your UNROASTED seaweeds (kelp, dulse, arama, hijiki,

etc) Most Nori is roasted in soy oil, so it makes a slimy " tea " and would clog

up the coir. Don't use the flavored ones either-they have funky stuff in them

that would flavor your microgreens. You don't need ANY fertilizer for

microgreens...just for nutrients if you were growing a full plant or growing in

the aerogarden. Microgreens will pick up the flavor of whatever they are

watered with, which is why I don't recommend using tap water with chlorine.

They grow so quickly, that any additive wont have time to dispell.

Okay, no need for seaweed. EW said the exact same thing. I just like to learn

stuff in case I ever plant anything outside.

Oh, I have a rectangular plantar on my porch. Last year I did basil. What else

can I do (I'm going to use the organic soil that I have). I have to think of

something original. I wanted to do grape tomatoes but I'm not sure how long they

take.

I just might do flowers instead.

Home grown stevia herb is WAY different than the processed stevia. You can

nibble on a leaf and feel like you are having dessert

I pay no attention to what amounts the books say I should plant-I just throw

some seeds in a pot and see what comes up. My daughter and I do a " mystery

garden " every year, throwing in whatever seeds have come loose in our seed bin

to see what grows, lol. I love the colored carrots-yellow, red, purple, and the

sweet little round parisians. Bok choy and other chinese cabbages are VERY easy

to grow...and you can SPROUT them too!

Carolyn:

My husband and I stopped using splenda a long long time ago. I use Sun crystals

and/or Stevia packets to sweeten my coffee.

And the ONLY beverage I drink other than water is any product from

truelemon.com. I purchase their Trueraspberry lemonade and believe me you have

NEVER tasted a better thing to drink. They use Stevia in their crystal mixes.

They also have True Orange and True Lemon. I use the True orange for everything.

I even add some to the True Raspberry lemonade and it makes the most refreshing

drink ever.

My husband used to be a big diet soda (with splenda) user. I looked on google

and read all about Splenda. The reading was not good.

I decided to go off of all artificial sweetners and it's even better for my

diabetes.

Do a search, you might be surprised.
