New to indoor gardening? Don’t worry – we all were once! And you know, many an experienced gardener has wished that they could travel back in time and give themselves some sound advice. Fortunately, you have Urban Garden Magazine.
Bob Taylor, chief chemist at Flairform (www.flairform.com), discusses how simple care and maintenance of our hydroponic systems is the key to maximizing growth and bloom. He shows us how to prevent diseases and pests, maintain the nutrient’s balance, and prevent the build-up of nuisance and harmful salts.
Microbes may be small, but they’re taking off in a big way as indoor gardeners discover new ways to harness the benefits they bring. John Perrino of Vermicrop Organics takes some time out from his crazy microbial world to explain what microbes are, what they do, and how we urban gardeners can use them to take our gardens to the next level.
