The blue bins we set up for the water containers began to mold and streatch in every direction. Their walls are too thin. We had to deassemble the entire containment system for rafts and substitute our blue bin with solid black, made out of sterdier material. This time we incorporated those bins, used for mixing concrete and they work. Drilling, gluing and in half-day the job was done. Next, we installed lights, put the patted rafts in the water and vuala, the transplanting can start!
Out plants has been paitiently wating for our progress, but now they are getting quite pale. Good news for them! The water is getting that beautiful tea-color and is full of nutrients. Our planties must be starving by now, growing on air and water alone.
Only one day after transplanting, the WildFire Lettuce mix begin to change color to nice red shades and greens got fuller and greener. Beauful; i love to have this garden at home. Just wait till Nasturcuim begins to flower!
