Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 That is one fantastic setup, Melody. Your shelves are similar but just don't have the light. They sure do have some nice size lettuces there. Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2012 10:32 AM Subject: Look at this!!!!  http://3rings.designerpages.com/2010/07/01/hyundais-kitchen-nano-garden/ Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I would so do this I can't tell you. Imagine the possibilities of growing all your own food (when you live in an apartment), have no access to outside growing mediums and you can eat so healthfully?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 The EasyGreen Mikro (micro) Farm is a smaller version that is similar, and affordable. I use mine year round. I can get a group buy on them if I get enough people interested.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'll try to find it on the website. Would have to be smaller to fit in my place. I had to put my AeroGarden out in the sunroom. This would probably be about the same as the AG and maybe providing more.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I had put in the name of the item, I pasted it in, but it didn't show up in the output. I'll have to go back for that but it was a cloner but I am not sure if it was part of something else or worked on its own.  I found this information about the mikro garden and it is interesting. It is available in the UK.  http://www.gardening-resources.com/want-to-grow-your-own-mini-vegetables-without\ -the-need-of-a-garden/  However, this was not the same site I had before.  Carolyn Wilkerson  To: " sproutpeople " <sproutpeople > Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2012 3:21 PM Subject: Re: Re: Look at this!!!!  Did you see this on their website?  Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2012 2:44 PM Subject: Re: Look at this!!!!  The EasyGreen Mikro (micro) Farm is a smaller version that is similar, and affordable.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Yes, the micro farm is for mainly sprouts, microgreens and small leaf type plants, but I have successfully grown many dwarf veggies in it too (I always try to do things that aren't intended to be done with gadgets, lol) I have a HUGE three shelf grow light system that I picked up at an auction years ago-it stands six feet tall, and has three six foot long growing chambers on it. It has trays that look like cafeteria trays on it where you set your plants. It looks like this: http://www.birds-n-garden.com/grow_lights_plants_carts_stands_9.html I got it for about 40 bucks-BEST auction find ever! I also have a few homemade setups, where I mounted grow lights to the underside of bookshelves, so the light shines down to the shelf below-very cheap and easy to do, if you shop at yardsales, thrift shops, etc. I don't use these setups during the season, as I do my " normal " gardening then, but I can take pics this winter when I get them going again-great way to " expand your horizons " and grow beyond sprouts and microgreens. > > > > > > > > That is one fantastic setup, Melody. Your shelves are similar but just don't have the light. They sure do have some nice size lettuces there. > > > > > > > > > > > > Carolyn Wilkerson > > > > > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > From: Melody <eliz7212@> > > > > To: sproutpeople > > > > Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2012 10:32 AM > > > > Subject: Look at this!!!! > > > > > > > > > > > >  > > > > http://3rings.designerpages.com/2010/07/01/hyundais-kitchen-nano-garden/ > > > > > > > > Melody > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 You could indeed use your shelf setup! You can sometimes find the grow lights at thrift shops for next to nothing, or get them at Lowes or Home Depot-about 10 bucks each, already in a mountable holder-just like an aquarium light (which also works) They are called plant lights, and you can also get them as bulbs which fit into a lamp. I grow all sorts of dwarf veggies-parsnips, salsify, french baby leeks, parisian carrots (they are snow white, look JUST like a golf ball) I grow purple and red dwarf carrots, kholrabi, baby beets, turnips, celeriac, container eggplant, japanese popcorn, pimentos, baby bell peppers, sweedes, a bunch of types of squash, romanesco, snowball cauliflower, brocolli, grape tomatoes, micro toms, tom thumb lettuce, both winter and summer squash, baby pie pumpkins, sugar baby watermelons...you name it. You would be stunned at the variety of goodies you could grow in your living room! My house is tiny, and I grow enough to feed two vegetarians year round, lol > > ; > > Dwarf veggies?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I was thinking the Nano was food and possibly sprouts too. That was why I thought the Easy Green Mikro garden might allow some food as well, like lettuces at least leaf ones. Yet it looked more like sprouts. I just wasn't sure.  Carolyn Wilkerson  To: sproutpeople Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2012 8:22 PM Subject: Re: Look at this!!!!  .

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 YES! You can grow anything! Trust me! With things like squash, you have to pollinate them though, since obviously you don't have bees and birds flying around in your living room, but that is easily done with a tiny paintbrush from the dollar store. I keep them in a little jar, and just give the plants a little " painting " as I go by them, several times a day. It is quite fascinating to grow stuff-lot to learn, but worth it! I even grew dwarf bananas in my living room one year-in winter...in Western NC! It is all a matter of climate control and knowing when/how to polinate.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 What are the sizes of baby carrots? Or of the squash? You grow them hydroponically? With or without potting soil? I want baby lettuce or the leaf lettuce. I just picked mine out in the Aero Garden until there aren't a lot of leaves left. Get big and I take them and then they grow a couple of days and is ready to be picked again.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Oh, and the " baby " carrots you get in grocery stores are not baby carrots at all-they are mis shapen regular carrots that have been polished down (with chemicals) to make them small. True baby carrots are just that-baby carrots. They look like a miniature carrot, with the green top and all. AMAZING to grow purple, yellow, red, or snow white carrots.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Do you use containers for things like the dwarf banana. I had a couple a few years ago, but the ants got to them before we picked them and before they got totally ripe. Bummer. We grew them in the yard. Didn't get any new starters.  Do you use the Easy Green to grow the veggies or what do you use?

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Okay, Melody is going to sound like a complete idiot right now and I know I don't have birds and bees flying around my living room but what do you mean you take a paint brush and pollinate every day? I have no clue what you mean? And here's a good one for you. The two veggies I most would love to grow would be squash and any kind of tomatoes. If I got grow lights (bulbs??) and clamped them on each overhead shelf, do you mean I can actually grow tomatoes and squash (and other things too)? The gardening store not too far from me had all these bulbs and growing stuff but when I went there I wasn't thinking about dwarf veggies and stuff like that. This is a whole new thing for me? And here's a good one for you. I know I have those gnat catcher things in my living room. When you grow squash and tomatoes etc, does it invite any pests? Thanks much .

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Baby carrots sound fantastic. I like colorful. Do you just have it out with a grow light over it or do you have a cabinet or something to put it in? We need instructions. What kind of equipment do we need?
