you are welcome @senorcoconut.

Hydroponics is not only about growing when you dont have soil...it can actually outperform soil in many ways.

For example it can save up to 90% water and fertilizer. you can usually grow more on a smaller footprint and therefore have less labor, and you dont need all the soil preparation, you can go a bit more high-tech on it...
Anyhow soil is just fine, but perhaps you can try hydroponics sooner then later, maybe for some winter growing :))

Ah yes I like the idea of doing a winter hydroponic garden. I have nothing against growing without soil, we have limited time with all our endeavors at the moment. We are moving into a small mobile home on raw land... between building something for winter, a garden and a couple natural building cottages for off-grid winter getaway rental income.

But I do want to try sooner than later, so perhaps your suggestion will motivate us for it!

Thanks
