It was 48 deg outside today. Reminded me to start our seeds indoors. We had tons of plastic cups left over from a party. So I cut holes in the bottoms, added rocks then the dirt and seeds. The ones on the right are coffee cans, we LOVE coffee :-), those are done the same way but will be screwed to our wood fence outside our back door this summer for fresh herbs while cooking. The plastic cups are in a 55 gal fish tank with water up to about 1/2 from the bottom of the cup. The entire set up is sitting on some plastic gutter covers with a circ pump to move the water. I also add some sea kelp to it once a month. It makes the water kinda brown but our plants love it. Once we are ready to plant the garden, which Mike is building out of some free pallets we got, we can just cut the bottoms out of the plastic cups and put them in the garden. The free pallets are awesome. We realized that is you turn them upside down the spacing it wider and perfect rows for the garden. Will be posting pics of that some.
What a difference a few weeks makes :-)
