You were worried about doing cash and affiliate and sponsorship stuff in the past. It does seem to have taken over now. Just an observation 😅
For sure, I felt the same thing, but it is just awkward timing. I had both of them contact me back at the same time and deliver the products at the same time. Then also got sick, so haven't had a chance for other videos. Will try to do a tour video this weekend.
@@CanadianPermacultureLegacy Adding affiliate links wouldn't go against the channel's values imo. Of course we need to live simpler lives and reduce spending/consumption but that doesn't mean products can't be allies in your journey. Buying things will remain a part of life, we're not going back to living wild unless a massive cataclysm strikes. You could grow a plant in a mason jar and babysit it everyday but that's not very pratical is it? The more projects I get into, the more automation I need and products like this can help everyone reach their sustainability goals. There's lots to setup if you start from nothing and affiliate links could be yet another way to support the growth of the channel and inspire more people to get started (and exponentially increase the legacy this channel creates and therefore the positive impact on nature it brings.) I wasn't aware of this product and might consider it in the future. Awesome to keep things going during winter! Instead of buying little plastic boxes with coriander, sage, etc we could all have a simple setup like this. Anyway thanks for sharing!
I'm perfectly ok watching something a bit different occasionally. This will be very helpful for some of us. 👍
Great ideas for nutrient replacements. I want to try that with the Kratky method of hydroponics too.
Thank you so much for introducing this type of system, and also breaking down the cost benefit numbers (especially for folks like me who are math challenged)! I also really appreciate the time lapse to show us how your seedlings did in the system, and explaining how this would be beneficial as a supplement to the amazing food forest and annual gardens you already have. Thank you for teaching so much about permaculture and inspiring me to start my own garden (first year brown thumb here)-I’ve got rainwater harvesting cisterns on the way, fruit trees and currants, elderberries and other shrubs waiting to be planted in ground. Wishing you and your family a smooth recovery from any lingering COVID symptoms, and looking forward to learning more from your videos! - An avid fan 🎉
Thanks so much :)
I have a small city garden in Belgium (climate quite like England). I grow many different fruits and perennials quite successfully but leafy greens not so much due to slugs and lack of space. So that system could be a great complement!
This might be cool to add to a fish tank, set up some sort of hydroponics swap. Thanks for Sharing.
You probably realise this by now but the stickers go on the pod holders not the clear plastic domes. The stickers prevent algea from growing on the sponges
Nice! The one I have is a little more basic but I'm really enjoying it. I've had great success with growing romaine lettuce. I tried spinach as well but I kept getting aphids so that didn't work out well.
I dabbled with using aquarium water but it wasn't as successful as the store bought plant fertilizer.
Some people are being pretty quick to condemn you for two product reviews this summer, especially given everything else you've had going on. For me, you've earned my trust over the past few years and I know you're doing everything you can for us within your busy life. Do what you can do. I'll always be grateful for every video even if every single one isn't relevant to me. Hope you're feeling better!
So kind ❤️
I wish these kind of videos were tucked away for winter when there isn't much outside. During this harvest time, it would be great if you even featured one plant from the food forest that you're harvesting and then dive in to talk about the plant's requirements, ultimate size, what works well around it, flavor, pruning techniques and when it needs attention, etc. It seems like many of the permaculture channels that I watch aren't doing much content with the food forests anymore...kind of a bummer.
It's just unfortunate timing on when I got sick. I've been pretty sick the past few weeks. This video here was 99% filmed a few months ago, so all I had to do was take a photo of the growth once a week, then edit the video while off sick.
I will try to do an update tour video this weekend now that I'm feeling better. However, there being little content lately is less to do with me filming product videos, and more to do with me having covid.
So sorry. I plan to get all the vaccines and boosters I can at my next doctor's appointment in early October! RSV, Covid and flu at last count.@@CanadianPermacultureLegacy
Is soil essential to "organic" growing? What do other folks think? I lean towards "yes." Either way, I much prefer to keep things simple. I'm sticking with growing/eating in season (with minor season extension in an unheated hoophouse), coasting through winter on preserved/stored food, and growing sprouts in a jar on the counter when we long for something fresh and green. Currant and gooseberry cuttings take pretty well just stuck in the ground.
ooooh that's a good one. I have so many things to bring up, I don't want to write a book in a comment though. Maybe this is my next video topic.
@CanadianPermacultureLegacy I would love to see this discussion as your next video. This is a debate I've had with myself. As an engineer, the auqua/hydroponics is a fascinating system. The regenerative agriculture farmer part of me tends to think as soil-less=counter to what I'm trying to accomplish. Tug f war between the two for me so would love to hear your thoughts.
Worm castings soak tea!!!!

Thank you for sharing the information on this. Wondering about those sponge plugs -- do you have to rebuy those from the company? How easy is it to remove the seedling from that medium for transplanting. Thanks again! I really enjoy your content.
I've just now reused my first set. I will see how the next set of plants grows through them. I'm also using paper towel instead, as I figure the seeds will germinate in them, and by the time the roots are pushing through it, it will mostly disintegrate in the water.
hey my pepper plants have been dropping flowers on flowers after bringing them inside, my leaves aren’t droopy and they aren’t turning color… should i be worried? i already fertilized them. and now making sure i won’t underwater them, i just don’t want them to die. not hydro just organic
Any change of environment causes stress on a plant. Your best recourse is to provide a little extra water for the week of the change, then go back to normal. Plants dropping flowers (but leaves looking healthy still) is a pretty strong indicator that this is just normal plant stress response and nothing to worry about.
This kind of stuff is a bit more Solar-punk than Permaculture, but cool nonetheless
Agree, and I actually see this as a weakness in what most people consider permaculture, and it's why permaculture gets a bad reputation for being "something for rich people with land".
With the amount of humans living in city centers, it's really important that we decentralized food growing in urban centers.
Nobody is going to grow all the food they eat in one of these, but it acts as a gateway. Learn how to start plants from seed, cut and come again harvesting, etc. Then maybe of enough people do more of this type of thing, there is an increased demand for things like community gardens because people will want something bigger to grow in. More apartment rooftop gardens, etc.
I think small units like this can be a nice start in changing the way we think about food, and that maybe we should start to try to grow some ourselves, even if we don't have land.
I’m more likely to trust a person whose hands have seen some work. Stop apologizing 😉
😂😂
I'm not going to buy it because the guy reviewing it had a blister and dirty nails! 🤣😂🤣
I know right? Where are the hand models?!
