Description: In this video we show our crop record sheets for each of the crop planted in our hydroponic garden. We also talked about our size of our systems where the DTW system measured 8ft x 5ft a total of 40 sq. ft. The NFT system measured 8ft x 6 ft a total of 48 sq ft. The black construction buckets with our long term crops of Ochro and Cucumbers each measured 3 sq. ft. Thus the total size of our garden was 40 + 48 + 3 + 3 = 94 sq. ft. which is the entire size of our garden. The variety of the various crops planted in our system are Chidhorie Chive, Triple Curled Parseley, Eden Lettuce, Cowhorn Ochro and Trini Cuke Cucumber. The medium used in our DTW system is Cocopeat mixed with Perlite, this is also used in the black construction buckets. The medium used in the NFT system is pure water which is mixed with the various hydroponics fertilizers.
