So, I was in the middle of writing my last post about the Aerogarden when I decided to search for Aerogarden stuff on eBay.  I came across an ‘Aerogarden compatible’ kit which basically looked like a blue Rubbermaid container, a fishtank pump, airstone, nutrients, seeds, and potting products.  The seller was letting the kits go for very cheap, around $50, so if you’re in the market for a hydroponic kit, that may be something to look into.

Looking at that kit made me think ‘hey, I have a pump and container!’  Victoria isn’t home yet, but hopefully she won’t mind me cutting holes in a perfectly good storage box.

The little pump from the Finding Nemo aquarium. No fish yet, so no need for the aquarium right now.

Time to grow some tomatoes! The Aerogarden tomato kit in my homemade waterbox.

Since my thing doesn’t have a timer or lights, I’ll need to remember to feed the plants every two weeks and make sure it gets enough light.  I’ll keep you posted on how things go.
