January and we are a growin…
Yes its January, its cold (32F daytime and 10F at night) and the little greenhouse that could is still hard at work. We still have an aphid problem, and insecticide just isnt doing anything, so we have gone natural and this week ordered 1500 ladybugs from California. Honestly I thought we would have rid the greenhouse of aphids when the soil was all removed… but no they are still there, and worse than when it was a soil based garden.
At the moment we have changed both hydroponic systems to Age Old Organics Liquid Soil Part A and Part B mix. Its cheap and seems to be making the plants grow extremely well.
Lettuce happy as larry and not going to see | The toms and the peppers | The peppers are covered in fruit, its totally amazing. And these plants are now 6 mths old! |
The top layer of the ebb and flow | The bottom layer of the ebb and flow | Bok choi |
Strawberry plants, all are covered in fruit, but they are also all covered in aphids |
