Throughout history, people have spanned continents to make their food flavorful. Heck, that's half the reason Columbus came to America. My friends and I have tried a lot to grow herbs with surprisingly little success. It's kinda disheartening really, how easily some folks grow things that we can't seem to figure out. Oh well, I'm trying something new.
One of my dear friends (I have a lot of those...) has started a pretty big indoor hydroponic garden so he can grow some things year round for fresh eating. He pointed out on Black Friday that this line of grow systems was on sale so we jumped on one that is set up for growing herbs. As Melissa has broadened her flavor spectrum immensely, she's been begging me to grow herbs. We've had many a sad conversation about how terrible I am at gardening, especially in the herbal department.
Hopefully this can change my luck some. It has a sensor to add water and a timer to add nutrients, and the light is even automatic! It's not soil based, which is a big change for me, but it'll get us eating fresh herbs, so I'm cool with changing things up some. I'll try my own fertilizer sometime, but for now it came with one that's should work.
Has anyone else tried a hydroponic herb setup? What herbs did you grow? How'd it work for you? I've got gobs of seeds for other herbs once I fill a jar with some. This'll be a fun experiment.
All in an effort to help my family and friends eat like kings on a low budget.
Thanks for reading today! Hopefully I'll make some time soon for a longer post. I've got a couple ideas thanks to conversations with @generikat.
More to come soon, friends. Eat like Kings.
