www.GreenJoyment.com If you live in an apartment, you can still grow vegetables. Milk jugs, potting soil, and tomatoes combine to make simple summer plants, and you can use something you’re probably throwing away right now milk jugs. This video will show you how to plant tomato and pepper plants in milk jugs for growing plants in a small space from reusable milk jugs. The inspiration for this: Carrie and I saw a TV commercial where they were selling some plastic thing you could buy for to grow your own tomatoes. What’s the point of that? People have plastic containers like milk jugs that they throw out every day. We actually got the milk jugs for our tomato plants from the coffee shop where Carrie works sometimes. Carrie told me that the coffee shop throws out at least 15 of these milk jugs EVERY day. That’s unbelievable. (Think about the hundreds of thousands of milk jugs thrown out every day my the thousands of coffee shops across America alone). So we turned them into tomato planters. If you live in an apartment or have limited space, this could be a perfect way for you to grow tomatoes as well. Grow your own tomatoes and peppers from milk jugs.

Can you switch a plant from hydroponics to dirt?
If I get a plant thats been growing with hydroponics can I switch it to dirt?
Roots of plants grown hydroponically are often swelled with water because they have constant access to moisture. They’re also very tender and prone to breakage. When transplanted to garden soil or potting soil, they often wilt immediately and go into shock. The solution is to first transfer the plant to a shallow pot with potting soil, flood the medium with water, preferably the same water used in the hydroponic setup with water-soluble fertilizer added. Put in a place with indirect light and keep the soil moist for a week watering twice a day. Slowly reduce the watering schedule over the course of the next week or two to the point where you can water every other day without wilting. Inspect the root system. Hopefully by now the roots have become fibrous and brown rather than white. Transfer to a regular pot, slowly increase the light levels and eventually it will behave like a normal plant. Some leaf and flower loss is normal.

HydroponicsFriend.com This is just a simple update from my first video. I set up a little corner in the laundry room for a work area. I use a plastic four shelf unit and had to remove the top shelf so there would be enough room to suspend a grow light. As you can see you don’t need an entire room or building to get started. You can grow into that later. (Pun Intended). You may also notice I edited the video with Windows Movie Maker. As I am learning about Hydroponics and seed starting I am also learning to do videos. Learning by doing is one of the best ways to learn. I may make a few mistakes but that’s all part of learning too. I like to learn something new everyday. I also like to teach what I learn. I have made some friends here on You Tube who are alot like me, who also like to teach. Learn, teach, enjoy, repeat.
Why is oxygen needed when growing plants through hydroponics?
Pretty much the question above. Why do plant roots in a hydroponic solution need oxygen? Thanks
Plant cells respire aerobically and so need oxygen. Root cells need ATP produced in respiration to actively take up minerals.
