OK…so here we are in March…4 months after we purchased the CropKing hydroponic garden kit for hobbyists…and I have to admit that we have not yet completed the assembly. Why??? We plan to go into that in greater detail later, but, for now, suffice it to say that it did not live up to expectations…
MEANWHILE, we had heard about a local grower who also sells hydroponic garden kits… Although the store is only open for a few hours per week, we managed to get over there on Tuesday. Our plan was to purchase some of their beautiful, tasty produce, and pick the owners’ brains about hydroponics in general. Hahahahahhhh!!! We were so impressed with design of the verticle garden that we purchased it on the spot, assembled it easily, and our seedlings are GROWING!!!
More work is required on the CropKing before it will be ready for use… Leaks have occurred in the inflexible hose that was provided…the hose kinks rather than bends. The overall design, in our opinion, is not as efficient as our tower. BUT…once we can grow our crops, I’m sure that all will be forgiven!
