Remote Gardener

I haven’t put any new photos up recently so I thought it was time to do so. We have added netting so that the tomatoes have somewhere to climb and they have sure started climbing. I can’t say enough about how awesome this new netting is… With 6 inch holes weaving the plants into climbing position is simple and easy. These photos are from the July 19th.

Hydro System two is a combination of tomato and pepper plants.

Hydroponic System One is dedicated to tomato plants.

Hydroponic System Three is used for testing different nutrient systems for tomatoes. If we see progress then we use that solution in the other systems.

We just finished getting our cooling system installed on the new greenhouse. Pictures will follow once we get the hydroponic systems in place. We also have a few surprises on how we installed the hydroponic systems in the new place. This system should make leveling the systems a lot easier.

We have added Remote Gardener Solexx Covered Green House Kits to our online store. They give you a large amount of growing square footage along with all the advantages of growing under Solexx.

Additional costs you may encounter when installing these kits:

• Holes or other method to mount the greenhouse frame. Several methods are shown here on our blog. Everything from gravel, wood logs, to cement or fence posts can be used to mount these frames.
• Enough self-tapping screws with neoprene washers to mount the Solexx. (found at any hardware store) We have considered that new super tape -used to glue aircraft- but haven’t tried it yet.

These are some of what’s been added to the Remote Gardener Store.

I wanted to show some images of our Cold Frame and Solexx Structure being assembled on Level Ground. We live in the Arizona Mountains and finding or creating level ground is difficult to say the least. We have adapted the use of structures -already being used around the world- designed for level or near level ground to work on unlevel or uneven ground.

You can see how we adapted this 20' X 72' cold frame structure to create a greenhouse on land which is 8.5 feet lower at one end.

A client of ours in Flagstaff sent us these pictures showing progress on his Cold Frame Greenhouse. Tom is installing on level ground and will be creating a cement 1800 gallon pond allowing him to use aquaponics to grow his plants. This is a bit more complex than hydroponics but the end results I hear are fantastic.

This 20' wide Cold Frame Greenhouse is being installed on level ground. This frame is also attached to poles at the base using a sub-frame they design and built to meet their needs.

Here is a close up of the sub-frame which they created to meet their needs. It is attached to the fence posts and then the frame is attached to the sub-frame.

Thank you Tom for the update and cold frame adaptation information.
