Today we discuss using hydroponics to produce fresh greens and herbs all winter long with small scale indoor systems.  In this episode we explain how anyone can build such a system for 100-200 dollar that will pay for itself 2x or more in a single season. Join Me Today to Discuss… Why hydroponics, why not aquaponics or soil based systems Incredibly efficient for indoor growing Aquaponics is far more complex and more difficult to do indoors Hydro done right is incredibly cheap and ideal for growing greens and starting plants Far less likely to experience clogs – hence overflows – … Continue reading →

With a rich background as a classroom teacher, specialist, and trainer, she has seamlessly blended her knowledge of education with hydroponics, emphasizing its real-world connection to math and science.

I am currently working on a presentation for when I am asked to do virtual summits and things like that.  The concept will be simplifying down to 10 big problems in our world like food supply, medical treatment, etc.  Then to give 2-4 simple and low cost things everyone can do to address them. Of course those things won’t “fix everything” or make you 100% ready for TEOTWAWKI but what they will do is make a meaningful difference in your life, if times get tough or even if they don’t. As you may imagine under food supply starting up a … Continue reading →

One thing I hear so many successful people in the food production world say almost every time one of them speaks is “grow at least some of your own food”.  The problem is the only solution they usually provide is something like, “even if it is just some herbs in a window”. Now don’t get me wrong, as you will see today I think growing some herbs is a great idea but I also see it as one and only one step in making a meaningful contribution to your diet and life though growing your own food.  What I tried … Continue reading →

Episode-2626- Simple, Fast and Easy Kratky Hydroponics for Growing Food

I consider it quite fortunate that back in late November of 2019 a listener asked me about something called, “Kratky Hydroponics” named for Dr. Kratky who is a professor at the University of Hawaii.  Up until that point I had never really seriously considered hydroponics as I vastly preferred aquaponics because it is a more natural system. When I grasped the true simplicity of Kratky though it would not let go of me.  I first used it to create a very inexpensive and productive seed starting system and even that system grew some things so fast it was producing food … Continue reading →

We start out with some very important information about CoVid-19 today and then discuss small scale hydroponics with our guest James White. James White is an Electrical Engineer but has worked primarily in Technical Sales, a.k.a. Sales Engineering most of his adult life; primarily for Silicon Valley tech startups. James caught or possibly inherited the gardening bug early from his Mother and Grandmother the first few years of his life in Okinawa. As a Navy Brat he moved around a lot, but always found a way to grow something, one way or another. Now living in suburban So Cal on … Continue reading →

Bit of a two fer today, going to spend about 10 minutes on Corona Virus an the financial hysteria going on right now and the amazing economic opportunity it is about to open up.  Yes I said opportunity!  It will get worse before it gets better and I think I may do a “what America should learn from CoVid-2019” show tomorrow so I will keep this all pretty brief. Today the bulk of our discussion will be about hydroponics.  We will discuss several different forms of hydroponics, why pumps often do make sense, nutrient choices, best crops to grow and … Continue reading →

I need to talk about Corona Virus and I want to talk more about my idea for micro CSAs as well.  So while they are not highly related, I am going to do both and honestly the things you should be doing for Corona Virus won’t take me that long to cover. I have said many times to not panic about Corona Virus and your basic preps you should have in place already will be for most people all you need.  This has led to a misconception that I consider it to be nothing, it isn’t nothing but it also … Continue reading →

One thing we know is the current food system works, shocked that I said that?  Okay when is the last time you had money, wanted food and could not get any?  This is true in most of the world, people that go with out food do so from poverty not scarcity.  In fact billions of tons of good food it thrown away annually.  So when I say works, I mean the main stated goal of the managed Global Food System is produce enough food to feed the world.  It does that.  We must start there or no meaningful discussion about … Continue reading →

Today on The Survival Podcast I answer your questions on everything gardening.  I am gonna toss you guys a small curve ball today.  Rather than a typical feedback show largely driven by email I posted a request for content on my facebook page and the TSP facebook page this weekend asking for gardening questions.  The response was great.  I plan to do a series of themed feedback shows in the coming months.  Likely it will be about every other week with typical email response shows in between.  But this is a great reason to join the TSP Facebook Forum Group … Continue reading →
