Lettuce - pslamont - 01-18-2009 Despite our fights with vog we have some great hydroponic lettuce coming up. It is very slow, taking 8 to 10 weeks instead of the 6 from summer but with about 80 buckets going, we got greens! [] RE: Lettuce - Hotzcatz - 01-19-2009 Winter solstice has passed, there will be more sun each day now so your greens will start growing a lot faster again and the chooks will lay more now, too. Spring is almost here! Yay! I've been thinking something could be done with rain gutters, net pots, a barrel and a solar powered pump but I haven't done anything about it yet. Still need the solar powered pump, among other things. I keep seeing strawberries dripping big red berries over the sides of rain gutters but other than putting a packet of strawberry seeds in the refrigerator (they need cold to sprout) nothing has been done.

RE: Lettuce - pslamont - 01-19-2009 No Glen, they don't. That is the beauty of the system. Come on up to Glenwood and see how it is working . Pam
