Berries and Veg Tenting \ Green House

[Razz0r]

Thought I'd share these and get pics of the green house tomorrow. 

 

Got some strawberries from Bunnings, soil was crap and they were not producing so I repotted them in to my own soil mix and got rid of gnats they seem to have. 

Put them in a tent with a 130w veg CFL and a 24w 5600k CFL. 

Had about 8 so far - very juicy and sweet. just water and a guano feed every now and then. 

They seem happy  

 

Also kicked off veggies in the small seahawk tent - took 3-4 days for these to pop - meant to take a week. 

they are in a 50/50 soil \coco mix, sitting on a heat tray with 4 x 24w T5 purple fluoros

 

• Cabbage
• Baby Cumber
• Cherry tomatoes 
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Capsicum
• Basil which is happy and some other herbs

Hey there Razz 

did you know the natural home of strawberries is in the understory of trees

which means they like fungal dominance in the soil , mycorrhizal fungi 

if your in to do'in compost teas, Make It Fungi Baby

Keep an eye on that greenhouse plastic, it will not last long before it starts cracking up

Love the berries idea , I was looking at doing them too , but also looking at blueberries and Goji Berries as there is some scientific data that show they are supposed to be good for the body .

Well the strawberries are going nuts!!  Have had over 15 ripe ones so far with heaps more coming and 4 massive bunches coming through. 

 

All the seedlings come up two. I'll take pics tomorrow
