I need to add drain holes to the bottles so rain doesn't drown the plants and I still have several to string on the twine and then secure the bottles. Should look pretty cool once they fill the swing set.
The Kratky method is designed to set it up and forget it until the plant is ready to harvest. It works well for many smaller plants but I don't have near enough large containers so I use what I got and add nute water as needed. Growing outside I have to expect rain so the need for drain holes about a third way down.
It will be interesting watching these

I do want to get a few into buckets and move a couple to 3 liter bottles and flip in a month, for science and all.

A few days ago they were starting to wilt. They had used all the water so refilled and they're back to growing.

Wife made Pho. There's new growth at the leaf nodes. I'll be growing several trays of these every winter.

Planting WEEK! I've got to get tomato and pepper seeds going so might as well plant more gophers. I did plant 3 for the upside down pot but it's time to start the summer plants.
It's been nice working on the yard and plants this past week but of course the uncertainty of the viruses spread puts a damper on things. I haven't left the house/yard in a week. I've got seeds I need to mail and worse I'm out of vodka.
Time to get work done. Mowded the yard and took down a tree yesterday and I need to cut it up. Moving and leveling pallets for bath tubes next to the big greenhouse is on my to do list.
I'm going to enjoy this mini retirement before it ends.
Happy Growing!
