Dear Reader, 

This section is designed to provide you with information on all aspects of Hydroponic Gardening and seed sprouting. 

 

Options to hydroponic gardening include using soil and/or washed sand as a growing medium and using organic fertilizer for nutrients.  This combination, along with a good grow light, is a relatively cheap methodology that will produce good results but not quite as fast as hydroponics.

 

Seed Sprouting

 

The quickest way to produce nutritious food is seed and bean sprouting. Sprouting is easy to do but one must use care in cleanliness and storage time for sprouts so that harmful bacteria does not develop. Enjoy!

Other Options for Emergency Preparedness

 

For those who are not able to garden for one reason or another, there are good options. For example freeze dried foods which back-packers use have a 10-50 year shelf life. Dried legumes provide an excellent and durable source for stocking up on emergency food supplies. Here are a few links to some of the better freeze dried food suppliers:
