Michael's Outdoor Water Garden

by Melanie
(CA, USA)

This was Michael's experiment with the water-saving potential for hydroponics. He installed an outdoor hydroponic system by which he's comparing water use/savings with his traditional soil garden.

This is a 20-gallon system, with 10 growing pots. He's planted tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, artichoke, strawberries and snow peas. This picture is only 3 weeks after transplanting!
