hydroponic hack




During Kauai birthday gauntlet slash family reunion, parents Epic gifted us a GoPro camera for documenting our scuba and other adventures.  MacGyver and I are wiped out from a camping/fishing adventure in the Sierras today, so I'm using GoPro to shortcut my usual blogging MO (which would be typing a novella and then deleting most of it).


 Ingredients:

  • Lid for plastic rubbermaid, etc. bin
  • Gladware 8 oz cups
  • Screw
  • Potting soil
  • Seeds you are looking to start


Optional:

  • Clothes pins
  • Small plastic bags labeled with sharpie


If your ghetto hydroponic system happens to be close to the door (so you don't forget to check on it and top up the lid with water periodically), it may get infested with mosquito larva and need to be dumped from time to time.  It would be rad if Betta fish could thrive in water this shallow and save us this step...  Perhaps the next rev.
