I liked the sock trick. Finally something to do with my old gym socks once the toes blow out.

@grandma_1887 3 месяца назад

You may already know, but if you clip maybe 2 inches down on the top of your basil, it will spread out instead of growing straight up. Sometimes you have to clip it again, and again to keep it from going straight up.

@chytrim901 Год назад

So far you explained the system the best. The use of the sock is great. I really didnt want to use paint because like you I wanted to reuse jars. You just simple supplies and not a lot of items to buy. Thank you.

This is the first time ever heard of the Kratky garden. It looks so easy and produces so well. Thank you for sharing.

Black Socks???!! Genius!!! Awesomeeeeeee video!!!! Love your calm voice. I have been wondering for months what to use to cover the jars once I transfer my herbs out of the Aero & I refuse to paint them. And they look so chic. When i saw the thumb nail, i was like “oh cool, they sell slip- on covers for jars😂!” Thank you!

A fantastic tutorial thank you! I have a small herb garden that’s outgrown their soup can containers & was looking for solutions that wouldn’t take up a lot of space.... looking forward to trying this!

@samfouche1704 8 месяцев назад

Excellent tutorial! Thanks. I'm so happy you included the 'show and tell' product instead of having to have us search through your channel to see the results. The sock is a great idea! Is the net cup needed? WOndering if the collar won't do the trick on its own. I've also seen someone who cuts up a pool noodle to use for collars ;-)

I found this video really helpful, and I really appreciate the blog link for added info and links! Thanks for sharing! I am curious why the jars are so large. I have smaller mason jars already, and it would be nice to reuse them. But I am not sure if they are too small at 16 Oz or whatever.

@SherSheGrows 2 месяца назад

You can use what you have but the larger the container the better!

@emilystamey4502 2 месяца назад

@@SherSheGrows better for growing larger faster? Having to refill water less often? Or something else.

@mamajan99 17 дней назад

@@emilystamey4502 Having to refill water is the issue. If you forget or are away you might damage or lose the plant. I use 5 gallon buckets with the Kratky method and grow tomatoes under cheap led lights a spare room.

@dear9530 6 месяцев назад

Thanks, I was really hoping to find a RU-vid about this. I had been planning to get a 4.0 Gardyn unit to start as I really hope to grow a lot hydroponically, but needed to know some more things as every time I tried, with the new insulated windows and this semitropical environment inside my home, only sprouting chickpeas and lentils was consistently possible. Unfortunately my debit card wasn't accepted by Gardyn and the $39/month plan was what fit my budget. Otherwise people have to pay hundreds of dollars with each payment or pay for the whole thing when I am really hoping to have heirloom organic produce for all me food as soon as possible. As plant nutrition and health is going down for store bought and prices are going up. I want to optimally boost my immunity and optimize my fitness, too. I have learned waves of potentially incredibly dangerous disease, aren't going to stop and some are getting even worse than past varieties. I'll be searching for what to do to keep the system with a balanced clean. I'll be searching for red and blue led lights and trying to figure out how to keep the system so my vegan cats won't think it's playtime as so far if I bring a plant home, they love it to death. Have a nice day!

@mamajan99 17 дней назад

"red and blue led lights" are more expensive and not really needed. You can use inexpensive, (4 feet long) LED rated at "daylight" = 6K color. I've grown hundreds of delicious Campari tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets Kratky style, in a spare room for years. They work very well.

I don’t like using rockwool because of the dangers with the little fibers and inhaling them or touching them. I use leica. If you do use rockwool, you are supposed to wear an N95 and gloves when you use it

Ah, so you used the Aerogarden nutrients. I wasn't sure how much to put. After I guessed, I saw this video. I followed the instructions on the Aerogarden nutrients bottle. I'm trying to grow cherry tomatoes, like I would in my Aerogarden. I have all these extra net cups from Aerogarden seed kits. I was surprised to learn that those white plastic things fit perfectly at the top of a 101.4 ounce Poland Spring water bottle. (It's more cylindrical than the one shown in your video.) The problem is keeping out light so that algae doesn't grow. It's too big for socks. 😄

@lauraperoutka5279 Год назад

OMG!!! Your video was great and easy to follow. Thank you! I do have a question though. I want to move my hydroponics herbs to the jars...basically just as you described. My question is regarding the roots. They are already pretty long. Do I just trim them to make them fit in the net cup? Or do I just smoosh the roots into the net cup? Or do I just harvest what I have and simply try and start over with my herbs. TIA

@SherSheGrows Год назад

Are your herbs currently in an aerogarden? You can get these and just place the aerogarden pod directly in it! amzn.to/3nToi3Q Otherwise, you can use the collars I mentioned and put them around the plant stem: amzn.to/3O4onwa Or, you can gently cut the bottom of the net cup to let the roots dangle through!

@lauraperoutka5279 Год назад

OMG!!! Thank you so much for these ideas! I love the first link you sent, and that was so helpful. Yes I have an aerogarden type system. It's the FAFAGRASS Hydroponics Growing System 12 pods. So I believe those pods will fit perfectly in those disc things. Much much much appreciated! Thank you for replying so quickly as well.

I’m north facing with barely any sunlight in my apartment, can these herbs grow without it?

@someoneinthecrowd4313 Год назад

This is a late reply but yes they can, but the growth will be tall and lean which is what happens when a plant is reaching towards the sun. I.E harvest will be poor. What you can do is get a weak 15 watt or so LED strip grow light to assist the natural sunlight. Added bonus is that those weak LED strips aren't expensive nor are they blinding, and they're also quite decorative.

I do have a black thumb -- probably because I have ADD, & therefore, time-blindness. I have no idea how long it has been since I last fed my baby (tracking apps are of critical importance), so don't expect me to know when I last overwatered that tender young plant. Woops! I just ignored 3 consecutive reminders to attend to my plants ... better go check to see whether it's dead or stressed but alive enough to prolong its suffering.

Brilliant idea with the socks totally stealing the idea it's a hassle painting them which is what I've been doing. Then you cant easily see in and also the paint is a contamination where as the socks not so much.
