HappyCamper...Deb 61 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 After this past Christmas trip, my DH thought it was time to bring a little bit of EpCot ingenuity home. After watching a few YouTube videos and research, my DH threw together his own plans for a hydroponic system in our basement.So proud of him...Next step...lights and seeds!

Beckers 1,136 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 awesome! what will he be growing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HappyCamper...Deb 61 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'd like to try fresh herbs. Basil, chives, parsley, thyme, etc. Maybe a bit of catnip or greens for our kitty...My DH is thinking of seeds to start our garden indoors. Tomato, green pepper, cucumber, beets, beans, etc. We'll see... :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SCTigerCock 171 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Please keep us updated. The Land is my favorite ride at EPCOT. I always want to try out some stuff they do. :jumpforjoyTony and I talked about it last time, but would be concerned about high humidity.And I remember and episode of Holmes on Homes where something like this was tried. But they weren't growing herbs, they were growing HERB. :flush2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HappyCamper...Deb 61 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 As lucrative as this "field" of opportunity may be, the extent of paraphernalia we grow may be a plant or two of catnip... :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alexwyattmommy 181 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I like the idea of using it to start your plants to transplant to the outside garden and then reusing it for herbs/spices afterwards. Looks pretty cool. How big is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Fascinating project. Please keep us posted. Maybe this will become the next "Mickey Lamp" craze. Seriously, the Land is a great place. Years ago, our GD's kept saying "My daddy grows those". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HappyCamper...Deb 61 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Update on our mini-Living with the Land...Tiny little seedlings of banana peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, basil, cilantro, and spinach are sprouting from the rock-wool. Almost time to insert into the hydroponic apparatus. :yay: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HappyRedhead......Betsy 16 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Very cool. That's my husbands favorite part of Epcot. He built a new greenhouse in the fall and wants to implement some of what he saw in Living With the Land to see if he can do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
