Running the Lines - Hydroponic Drip Irrigation

Рет қаралды 16,951

Күн бұрын

We finally started installing the hydroponic strawberry drip tape and the emitter lines for the peppers and tomatoes. These will all be connected to pump system with a timer, and a nutrient injector system. Doug had been waiting a couple weeks for a part which finally came in, so I'll be showing the injector system soon. Katy and I did a little flower shopping to suppliment what we had started in the greenhouse. I'm getting excited to get the flower beds going and doing more work in the garden soon. Next video on the injector system should be out soon, watering everything in the high tunnel by hand takes for ever! -Devon

Happy mothers day to you and your mom. You 2 ladies are a couple of amazing ladies. I know your mom is a great woman because of how awesome you turned out. I also know you are an amazing mom because I see you taking care of those boys, the farm, the cows, the garden, feeding everyone with healthy food, helping your mom and dad with the Hydroponics. You are a "1 in 7.5 billion" mother and young woman. 🌹🌹🌹

Most people do not realize how much it cost and time go in to infrastructure . The green house less say cost $100000.00 putting a pad in with heating and cooling system all in to pay for installing and parts . You will need power and water !! Than all the drip lines , timers , planters , cables , drop spools , cost $20000.00 more and one year of your time ! that would be a good on to go over you have the new one set up . P.s dads labor is worth $32.50 per hour ! Have a good day .

Happy late mother's day wishes. Another lovely little video. You have created a nice art form. I was thinking about the dosimeter and how it must save you money on nutrients because if I am not mistaken you were throwing the old solution on the garden or sometimes just tossing it in winter. I am willing to bet you have a very good idea how much it costs you in nutrients to grow a lettuce in the summer and in the winter. It will be interesting to see how this changes.

@HomegrownPassion 3 жыл бұрын

Yes that is what we do with the nutrients from the main greenhouse. It should save us money like you said, especially since we can dial in the exact amount to give the plants. That could be a good video topic.

Great to hear more about the new injection system. Question: does each valve pull the same nutrient mix? Or is your dad changing the nutrients depending on the crop it's going to? Thanks!

I really enjoy your videos, we'v had a greenhouse for sometime and are just starting this year with hydroponics. I noticed with your strawberries, you're using a 20 20 20 from Miller's. Is that your feed regiment from start to finish

@HomegrownPassion 2 жыл бұрын

It is so far...me may be looking at breaking the system down to have a part a-b with ph adjust but I think for this year we are going to stay with the 20-20-20. The strawberries are really coming back now that the weather is cooling down.

Hi Linda, Let me get you the information you need to purchase the bins...they work great in fact we are ordering more here soon for next year and increasing our strawberry production. Give me a day or so and Ill get you the info.

Dialing-in and setting the correct irrigation schedule can be difficult, as each plant type requires different crop steering parameters to ensure continual healthy growth through both vegetative and generative stages. Not as easy as people may think. Cheers.

How does the watering/drain system work on the strawberries?

@HomegrownPassion 2 жыл бұрын

So last year we just let it run on the ground. This year we are going to install a gutter system but remember the idea is not to have any drain water coming off the buckets but still enough nutrients to keep the plants fed and hydrated.

Hi again how often do you have to change the Perlite growing medium? and do you mix it with vermiculite.

@HomegrownPassion 3 жыл бұрын

We don’t have to change the growing medium. It stays good for the whole duration of the growing time, and we can reuse it as well. We do two parts perlite, one part vermiculite.

Follow all your videos but just a quick question, after the seeds have first sprouted when do you add fertiliser if any ?

@HomegrownPassion 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! The seeds in the greenhouse start off with the nutrient solution right away. We soak the growing medium with it. They will also do well with a more dilute solution too.
