Hi Wayne! Please say hi to everyone for me. Even Though I am in South Florida I get good germination of spinach by putting the seed in hydroponic oasis by first soaking the oasis with water then draining it to the point that no more water will drain off the oasis. Then I have a tub that the standard that is 4 in deep and a standard grow tray will fit into with the lid on which I put the tray (has the planted oasis) into and put the tub-grow tray in the refrigerator for 7-10 days. After that I take the tray out and put under li8ghts at room temperature (do not put on heat pat) which is from 75-77 degrees F. Della

I have a five tray system in the house I raise spinach in. Germination is spotty at best. If I was 10, I plant 20. 2-3 seeds per cell. I've tried presoaking for a couple of hours and it seems to help some. Patience is key though. It's not a fast grower, but you can clip 4-6 leave off each plant in the early stages and then top it, leaving a couple small shoots in the weeks following.

I've had some success in an aeroponic system with a spinach I first saw in a BBC gardening show about allotments in the UK that Jamaican immigrants to the UK were having luck with. I had to buy the seeds from China of all places, and first planted it in soil where it did well. It is called Callaloo. My whole family agrees that it is our favorite spinach now. It sucks the nutrients fairly quickly so I have to be vigilant about weekly changes.

The white flies are the worst as they will literally shut me down for the summer. I have a screen house with a poly roof. It will reach temps of 110 degrees I have to use coolers in the tank to cool the water down. I also would like to know how you keep the tall plants from falling down or turning the tubes over ( upside down) . I use to grow hydo tomatoes and there was no way to cool the house down to grow in the summer, I hope that you can guide me with the bug problem. Thank You Gary

Hi Gary, thank you so much! We never have a problem with white flies, do you use a shade cloth? You may want to try a water wall as well. We get aphids and we bring in beneficial bugs (lady bugs and paricidic wasps) these really do help. There are also beneficial bugs for white fly but you would have to research that. I really hope you solve your problem, there is nothing more frustrating. Please let me know if you find anything. Thanks for popping by. Patti

I was hoping that you could tell me what greens exactly that you put in your mix and what you call it because I would like to start producing a salad mix to sell to our local restaurants. I also wondered what type of heating system you use to heat your Greenhouse and if you're satisfied with it or not?

+workin350 Thank you for watching! Yes, we have tried the mesclun and it was alright but we find you get more weight and nicer lettuce mix by harvesting a mix of different lettuces. Our mix consists of red and green Boston, red and green Romaine and Muir. We call it Spring Mix. Customers love this mixture. We also offer individual heads of each and leave the root on, another great seller. We heat with propane, it can get costly in the winter months but we are happy with it. Are you currently selling to restaurants now? Are you also doing farmers Markets? Patti

Spring Hill Farms We sold tomatoes to a grocery store and two restaurants last year with success and they are all interested in more products such as leafy greens and carrots cucumbers peppers and so on. We also sold at one farmers market last year but it was not a very good one and I felt like I spent a lot of time at the market when I should have been on the farm working. There are better farmers markets about an hour away from me and I may look in that direction in the future. I'm currently working towards setting up an aquaponics system in one end of my 30 x 96 Greenhouse to feed an nft system, thus my question about salad mix. I asked about your heating system and if you were happy with it because I went looking for a way to heat my Greenhouse and my house and my shop knowing that I couldn't afford to do it all with propane. What I settled on was a sawdust and wood chip burning boiler system which I now build and sell kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lb6oisR9yrzMpp8.html . The economic benefits are great, the fuel is very cheap and if you're burning tree trimmings from local tree services the fuel can be free. If you are happy with your current system then I'm happy for you I just thought I would share this information with you because you guys share so much good information with everyone else in the gardening world. What part of Canada are you located in?
