Default hydroponic first steps

It was a blustery day for a launch but the lettuce rafts are adrift!





Inspired by comments from jeff5may and natethebrown in this thread - http://ecorenovator.org/forum/lawn-g...ing-shelf.html - I've been trying to learn a bit about hydroponics. As a tentative first experiment I decided to try lettuce rafts in our small pond (puddle?). The 1" x 4" are 6' long with 2" holes spaced 12" apart. I think I could go much denser but I'll see how this works out before making any changes. 2" net cups will hold the individual plants.

Lettuce started on the seedling shelf indoors are being hardened off and I hope to get a few into their new digs in a couple of days.

See what you guys have started! I'm not allowed any more projects lol.
