HYDROPONICS UPDATE


THE WATER FARM TOOK A HIT IN THE MOVE FROM CARSON CITY TO BULLHEAD CITY. SEEMS A PART FELL OFF CAUSING THE PUMP TO JUST BUBBLE AND NOT MOVE WATER UP TO THE DRIP RING ON TOP.


I WAS GOING TO PULL UP THE ROSEMARY, BUT MARY SAID TO JUST LEAVE IT, AND JUST GIVE IT A DRINK OF WATER EVERYDAY. STEVE AND I FINALLY STUDIED THE INSTRUCTION BOOK AND LOCATED THE MISSING PART STUCK IN THE PLUMBING TUBE. WE GOT IT REINSTALLED AND THE WATER FARM IS BACK ON LINE.

WHILE I WAS IN GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN I HAD STEVE BABYSITTING THE WATER FARM. WHILE I WAS GONE FOR 10 DAYS HE ADDED 7 GALLONS OF WATER TO THE SYSTEM. ONE DAY DURING A STRONG WIND STORM HERE ON THE DESERT, HE HAD TO ADD ONE FULL GALLON OF WATER.


WE’VE PLANTED CHERRY TOMATOE SEEDS IN THE ROCKWOOL CUBES AND ARE NOW WAITING FOR THEM TO SPROUT. WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED.
