What are you doing to prep for Gardening Season this year?
Today, I'm starting some seeds indoors for later planting outside.
All thru the winter we've been growing and harvesting from our hydroponic Lettuce Gro tower. We've had a few issues with some of the glow rings on it. The connectors have shorted out killing 2 glow rings at once. The company has been awesome at replacing those that have failed under warrantee. But once that warrantee has expired, we think they will not still replace them free of charge. The issue has been - even though we've made sure the fully seat the connectors they are located in the center part of the tower - which is also where all the water runs. So, to prevent this down the road, we've come up with solution to save some money of replacing them but moving the lighting and its connectors to the outside away from the water. Hard to explain fully but at later time I'll include some pictures of the mod we've come with.
Not sure why it kept happening with ours. We know folks who have been using theirs for many years and never had it happen with theirs.
Still, we're happy with everything else about it and being able to grow all our salad and stir fry fixings all throughout the winter months. We'll keep it running year-round as it's nice to always have freshly picked produce at hand all the time - no bugs, no dirt and no pesticides.
