Growing Yummy, Hyper-Local Herbs – Adventures In Hydroponics

It’s been a month since I started my own little herb garden at home using Ikea’s Vaxer system.

The short of it is:

It works. Really well.

The whole setup cost me less than $120 and I’ve germinated, sprouted, grown and harvested salad, water-cress and basil in just a few weeks.

I’m a fan and wanted to show you the progress:

I’m so excited to have more, fresh and tasty greens at my fingertips that I’m going to expand my Ikea system with a custom-made lighting and tray system that I’ll write about in the future.

I strongly believe that growing your own food while living in a big city is a good idea.

Next up: Growing pea, sunflower and hemp microgreens!

Thanks for reading,
