I've started my fall garden! I'm growing cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts vertically in stacked containers and hydroponically. Holly mackerel, I might open a worm hole with all this experimentation. So, yeah, I'm employing the principles of wicking to help me grow lots of brassicas in liimited space. Follow along to see if it works. My name is Brent and I live in central Arkansas. Love to garden and dabble in hydroponics--Drip Systems, Deep Water Culture Systems, Self Watering Containers, & modified Rain Gutter Grow Systems in the greenhouse. A big part of it is experimentation. I would love to hear from you. Join the conversation and share who you are here with me!

Hello Brent, saw part 2 so I have caught up with this one and it's been interesting and I am really looking forward to seeing part 2.

😆 Happy Gardening my friend, Terry.

When is your first frost date? It's to late for me for a fall garden as mine is mid Oct. Good luck with the Brussels Sprouts. I've always had trouble growing them but I planted the last ones in august and they look pretty good now.

I must say I do admire your experimental prowess ; )

I've been out of commission for a few months, Brent. Now I've got to catch up on all your shenanigans LOL. Looks like you've pretty much mastered this system. LOVE the vertical brassica system! BTW, when the brussels sprouts get tall enough for you, don't forget to snip the growing tip off the plants so their energy goes into the sprouts. (Took me 30 years to learn that!)

Very cool way to garden. looking forward to seeing the Brussels sprouts grow.
Thanks for sharing

You use a fork handle...half my silverware is somewhere in the garden, LOL!
Growing vertically inside and outside the greenhouse is definitely on my agenda!!
