[Video Tour] Gardening for Food Security - Indoor Gardening Project Part 4

in #ecotrain5 years ago (edited)

The indoor garden project began with the purchase of an LED grow light (which explains the pink glow in the video below) – but what to put under it?

The light would cover a 4’ x 4’ space and I wanted to maximize that growing space.
I did that by:
• Choosing square or rectangular pots that would fit tightly together
• Growing only productive plants
• Keeping a rotation of seedlings going to rotate into that space once the plants are past their prime (these were grown on a separate grow light stand.)

As you saw in the video tour of my indoor garden it has lettuce, Malabar spinach, celery, parsley, kale, rhubarb chard, green onions and the last of the basil. These plants were all dug out of my garden with an experiment I was trying – find out more at: https://steemit.com/ecotrain/@porters/gardening-for-food-security-indoor-gardening-project-part-3-the-experiment-worked

Plus the first set of seedlings are up, the lettuce, arugula and basil. We’re still waiting on the spinach to germinate.

And of course we have a special guest appearance by JJ the cat in the video!
