The audio only comes out of one speaker – so make sure your speakers are balanced or use both earphones. It’s there, trust me.

No, most of these are small plants and others are just young. They do indeed grow to their full potential – just check out some of the photo galleries at Easiestgarden (dot) com/conditions.php – there are lots of galleries there, especially check out the 2009 and 2010 ones.

During the 70s a 2sd non-circulating hydroponic system was discovered. It consists mainly of a plastic barrel filled with rice husks and a mixture of water and sterile animal manure. It was a time tested and time proven method over many decades. An another idea is to use food grade activated carbon or crush charcoal granules and a mixture of water and rock dust powder dissolved in water until saturation point is met. This technique was tested and found to be equally successful in producing food.

The Mittleider method uses an open bottom box which is open to the soil so that the plants can absorb whatever unknown nutrients still not discovered by science. The artificial soil mixture can be improved by mixing it with rock powders and powdered charcoal to make plants pest- and disease-resistant, high yielding, and maintain soil fertility indefinitely. Conduct your own book research on such matters, don’t be internet-dependent for the internet is not reliable, access microfilms if you can.

Vertical hydroponic gardening seems to be going into one direction only which makes it unnecessarily expensive whereas there are many hydroponic methods like the Bengal method and Mittleider method (the cheapest) and Wroclow method (non-circulating type, first discovered in Poland in the 50s during the Cold War), and others, etc. The Mittleider method is what I’ll choose personally for it requires only an artificial soil of peat and sand, or sawdust and sand, and mixed wt dissolved rock powders.

The plans have a lot of possible sources listed, but one common one is Craiglist.

We don’t sell the barrels, we sell the DVD showing you how to make them. They’re quite easy to make yourself and easy to find the barrels locally in most cases – the plans/DVD have ideas on where you might look. Check out the website at EasiestGarden (dot) com

Minor settling (1-3″) happens, but never enough to pull the plants down. Thoroughly wet the soil before you plant, and you shouldn’t have that happen again.

Hi.
nice idea. My father also tried barrels. Especially for strawberries. A problem he encountered was the soil in the barrel sinking mid season thus dragging the plants inside the barrel. Have you experienced similar? And what would you recomend to avoid this? Struggeling with my 800 m2 garden, space is never a problem. But I might just try this out for fun :d

The video has been up and had audio working for over 3 years… it’s probably your speakers, volume, flash player, or something like that.
