    Hi Steve, great idea on a 5 year diary, thanks Jane, always great videos Steve, thanks for sharing and take care 🙂

  7. Helen F

    Steve, have you checked out pricing on aquarium supplies? They might save $ on some of the hydroponic supplies since they're similar products.

  9. David Bell

    I simply take pictures using my phone of seed sowing, planting out, plant progress, crop progress, harvesting, crop clearance, etc., etc., including scribbled notes, diagrams, etc.

    Much easier than a paper trail.

    Hi Steve, I have been running various hydroponic systems for several years. I have experimented with different feeds and with & without amending the ph. I grow greens & strawberries and could not see a huge difference between those with ph adjusted & those without. The cost of the ph amendment in my experience is not worth the extra cost. Plus, there are powder feeds that are far cheaper & better than the over priced liquid feeds.

    Happy to share my experiences with you if you ever want to chat.

  13. Mark Shaw

    Really like the idea of the 5 year dairy, make life alot easier and I can keep a 5 year picture with ease.

  15. Dalesman

    I realise you were given the hydroponic stuff but with all those wonderful growing spaces you have created why start growing chemically?
    We gardeners are so blessed to have food grown in healthy soil with all the natural nutrients available for our benefit. Sure, it’s a new interest and may even help with your particular nemesis, but please remember your roots. Lol.

    Lee Valley in Canada sells a lovely 10 yr gardening journal. A big big to haul around but I record daily stuff, temps, etc. mit has all other kinds of info too.

  22. Gardening with John

    Yes I do a log every year, one on what, where and when I grow everything that I transfer to a spread sheet with first and last harvests etc and another document on weather and anything important like diseases and pests as well for each month. Although I prefer to use pen and paper, I put it in a spreadsheet and word document to make it easier to view at any time, save space and I then download to my smartphone so I can look at it anytime anywhere. I also have a spreadsheet with everything I've grown with the: sowing times, planting dates, spacing, height etc too. All the best, John, Hampshire, UK

  23. Garden in the woods

    What you are talking about regarding ph is similar to how it is done in the aquarium world. There you also measure the ph and raise or lower it depending on which fish and which water environment you have in that particular aquarium. That analogy made it a little easier for me to understand how ph works in the garden/soil. Thanks for a super good, fun and inspiring channel.

  24. Judith Beavis

    There is a Homestead American site on here that has been growing like this for a few years now, they have grown cues, melon, tomatoes as well as other things. Most of them have done very well. Hope you have good luck with this growing system.

  27. Ibr Stellar

    Another fantastic video Steve.
    It's the perfect time of year to reset and plan for next year so all these tips will be brilliant additions.

  28. Ibr Stellar

    I wonder if an old bath might be suitable for a hydroponics system as you could pipe it up through the taps maybe?

  31. Matilda Whittington

    A five year diary is a charming idea but there's about zero chance that my diary will survive that long, each year's diary is quickly folded, dropped, muddied, accidentally dropped. How nice it would be nice to be so ladylike like Jane!
    Hope your nemesis will be mastered, Steve.

  32. Mary Playford

    I love the diary idea because my notes are all over the place. Grow some chilli or tomatoes in the big barrels.

  33. Mandy C

    Hi Steve, why not try one of the Kratky systems using your homemade fertilisers and compare the results?. I have dabbled with Kratky and got fruit from tomatoes and chillies. I didn't buy any testing equipment or fertilisers and tried to recycle things around me. Khang Starr has some great videos on hydroponic growing. You can get some fantastic results growing chillies in small recycled water bottles. I much prefer growing in the ground though.
