The first harvest!

I decided to pick the zuchini today. I really wanted to see how big it can grow but I also so eager to taste my labor so I couldn't wait. The bigger zuchini is the one from the selfwatering planter I made. The smaller one is from the wood crate planter. They grew at the same time and I don't know if it's too early to say that the one from the selfwatering planter grew better!
My lettuces grew from seeds. 100% organic natural grow in organic soil and bat guano . It proved that we don't need harming peredise to make plant healthy. Lettuces are great to grow. They grow fast, and can use as soil cover. Just need to water them everyday.

Earthbox Experience!

I laid my eye on the Earthbox planter at Amazon but it's expensive for my budget so I googled it and found out a lot of DIY video to make one. Since I already had a small box at home I decided to experience on the smaller size before making a "real" one :-).

 I used an old nursery training pot which came with my plant to make the center where the soil will contact to the water and suck it up. I also drilled some hole so at the same level between water and soil.

 After all the cutting and assembling, I filled it with mixed soil and water.

 I planted some Alpine strawberries I also planted in the hanging container to compare.
And let's wait and see. I will update the result after couple weeks.
