Hydroponic Cherry Tomatoes – Video

By geekgardener, on May 1st, 2012%

Cherry tomato is one crop I don’t get bored growing. Long trusses of fruits hanging all over the plant is just a pleasant sight to look at. I leave the tomatoes to ripen on the vine. So they taste a lot sweeter when they are harvested.

The cherry tomatoes that feature in this video are actually grape shaped. They are grown in bag culture. Actually I wanted to put them in paint buckets but bag culture is simple and cheaper to setup. With automated drip setup watering the plant at regular intervals, the plants have no other job but yielding nice tomatoes.

I actually wanted to make up for a month’s delay in post by writing the complete cycle of growing cherry tomato like my previous spinach post. But with the time so less and ocean of activities happening (I will keep that for the next post), I thought this video would convey most of what I wanted to write if not all.

Here it is folks,

Hope you all enjoyed watching.

Hydroponics/Soilless Cucumber in greenhouse–Video-Part I & II

By geekgardener, on February 28th, 2012%

 

Thanks for such a good response on the videos. It is really motivating. Many of them wanted a video of the entire life cycle of the plant and also possible narration of growing methods along side.  That is exactly what I am doing now.

Some of the videos were shot without audio. Now, I am recording all the videos with narration. I used to think, that recording an audio/video should be very easy. You just talk..Isn’t it.. Apparently not so, when I started taking these videos. The moment I switch on the record button in the camera.. suddenly the situation changes.. one becomes all conscious, all kinds of disturbances happen only during that 10 minutes of silence you need… I have so many blooper videos which we keep watching and laughing later.. so anyway.. easy or tough, there is going to be lots of videos from now.

Here are the videos of Seedless cucumber growing in my greenhouse. Check it out
