Hydroponic Starter Kits for Beginners, for sale Php550 only!

Many have asked me, "How did you start this?".


Now, believe me, when i started hydroponics, i had absolutely NO experience with plants or hydroponics before. All the pictures you see in this blog of my pipes and systems, i didnt start like that. So how exactly did i start off?


I'm taking this opportunity to give that start to you, dear reader. Hydroponics is not something that u can master at a go. It takes practise, patience and a lot of trial-and-error. I started off with this:

I started off with this styrofoam box. Simple, yet very very easy to deal with. i used the bottom half of this box as a tub to carry the nutrient solution. The top part, i cut holes for my plants. Then i used cups to hold my plants. Thus, my system looked like this:

My first batch of lettuces on this were horrid! Not because the system wasn't working, but because i didnt know about how much sunlight it needed. I ended up growing it with no sunlight, under a shade and it crawling around looking for light. The second time around, my lettuces were perfect!

And with this, i want to give you the opportunity to start off the way i did. As you get used to it, you may want to innovate with different systems, like i did, and who knows! You might just have a garden bigger than mine. 

The starter kit includes the following:

-1 styro grow box: 8 holes

- 8 Styrofoam cups : holes cut underneath

-1 kg vermicompost

-1 set Hydroponic Nutrient Soltuion

-1 Pack of seeds of choice

So how exactly does this look like when being used? Here are some sample pictures taken by some customers and individuals who have tried the system:

Think about it... if i was able to do this on my own... SO CAN YOU! And i'm pretty sure you'd do even better!

New Hydroponic System finally constructed!

It's been quite a while since i have last posted an entry. LOTS have things have been happening lately.


First of all, i'd like to introduce my finally constructed hydroponic system! If you recall, my previous hydroponic system was flat and rectangular. Picture below:

This system was great! But i have to say that it took up a bit too much space. If you are one of the people who came over to visit, this garden took over more than 1/2 of my entire lawn! Since this is a residential garden, thats not a good thing. No one wants to wake up to see a pile of pipes outside the window.

Besides, my childhood friends would peep over the fence and comment that my house looked like a drug factory with all the pipes and herbs growing. hahaha

So i took about 2 months to design and get some help in designing a better system. I wanted something presentable that would make someone say "i want this in my garden." Something pretty and inviting, as well as space efficient. Previously, i had experiment with a-frames. I got one built for me to try on:

I noticed that the sun would rise and set from the east-west ... well.. my east and west that is... 

If you dont know yet, but sunlight is a crucial element in photosynthesis for plants. They need it for food :) 

So regardless if your plants like hot/cold climates, sunlight IS essential. 

So with all that thought and design in mind, plus taking advantage of the fact that my parents who work abroad are here and can help me boss people around easily, we got started on a new system. Finally, after a while, we finished it! 

It's quite a big change if you compared it to my previous systems. But i'm happy to say that it's doing really well. It's taking up lesser space than the previous system, a lot easier for me to handle, cleaner, more organized and not to mention presentable! :) With this, i can easily promote hydroponics as a garden that can be adopted in our very households.

The plants currently growing are my culinary herbs: Sweet basil, thai basil, lemon basil, purpl basil, Ashitaba (green tea), tarragon, vietnamese corriander, italian corriander, and my cherry tomatoes.

An excellent herb for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, high sugar levels, diabetes, cancer and anxiety. Eat 2 leaves every day, raw. Personally, it tastes like guava. :)
