A quick update and new plantings

With the long weekend I managed to get a little more planted and plan stocks that will travel in the mobile display that I have finally got to the almost completed stage, just waiting for the signage to arrive.
Here is a quick up date, things change almost overnight with this prolific growing system.

Egg plant

Patio Tomato's very strong and will travel well

My favorite pink pearl with clusters hanging allover

Lots of Cucumbers makes a great chutney.

Rome Tomato's very healthy, good stock.

Easter Catchup

Happy Easter,
just a quick update, even with a lot of rain the Petunia can still put on a show.
Note the Change to Blog Page, since day one I have had trouble about just where the Autopot System fits into the world of gardening. It is not a true Hydroponic with all it's waist and salt challenges and its definitely not anything conventional where you dig and sweat, so what is it?
I have called it HYDRO GARDENING The scientific control of water and nutrient for plant growth)
This is space age Hydroponics. NO run off, No Salt build up so no flushing and you can use any form of potting product it's just there to hold the plant up. This means you can purchase that plant of choice from your nursery just add it to the system with its magic (Smart valve) which is controlled by the plant itself  how brilliant is that.
I reckon the plant knows more about what it needs in the way of water and food than either you or I. That's why AUTOPOT is so Brilliant.

Crazy cucumbers

My new planting of cucumbers has gone mad fortunately I have keep them to one end of my shelter so they don't steal all the light like they did last time.


It's also about time I updated the growth of the window box Petunia's
I have also added 2 hanging baskets with a Cascading Petunia it will be interesting just how well these do.

Pink Craze

Cascading Petunia
Remember the green Ginger I re potted well there are shoots popping up all over it's loving the constant feeding that is supplied by the Autopot System.
