Gardening

Growing a garden is never something I am good at.  I tried in our first house but there was just so much maintenance that I couldn’t keep up.  Soon our garden was overgrown with weeds and the vegetables we did plant didn’t even come up!

Right now my brother is starting his indoor garden which he will then transplant outside when the weather is right.  My brother is one of those people that is book smart and always reading something.  He recently started looking into all sorts of gardening techniques and of course telling me about them.

One method of gardening is hydroponics.  It is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, so in water but without soil.  This is not a method really for fruits and vegetables but rather for plants.

Another method is aeroponics.  This method has the gardener growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or growing medium.  It is considered a safe and natural way to grow healthy plants and crops.

Right now my brother just uses little trays of soil and seeds by the windowsill.  He doesn’t use growing lights or anything special, yet.  I am sure his gardening techniques will become more advanced as the years go on, but for now he is happy with his windowsill garden!
