Go Green, Grow Hydro!
Mike Nivato asked:
Hydroponic gardens allow you to: Garden without soil Grow fresh vegetables year round Grow plants indoors Naturally clean and freshen air Provide oxygen Hydroponic garden systems have a reputation for being difficult, particularly on a large scale. The truth is that this type of gardening relies upon a controlled environment. When people set up a smaller hydroponic grow in an aquarium or similar box it is easy to totally control the variables in the system. To ensure success in a larger garden you need an enclosure, known as a grow box, so you can isolate the area and control the environment.
Growbox for Hydroponic Garden Systems
The trouble with a grow box is that they can be difficult to build. Many people build permanent enclosures, which is not an option for renters. The Homebox is a portable alternative for those wanting to grow hydro. There are several sizes available, ranging from the small, who can fit in almost any corner or closet, to the XXL which is perfect for a garage. No matter what size space you have available, controlled environments for hydroponic garden systems are easy to build with the Growing tents. No tools are necessary for construction. The frame is quickly hand assembled and then the walls can be added.
Perfect Hydroponic Grow Environment
A Growbox allows you to easily control the space inside. The humid air of your hydroponic grow system environment can be contained. If you are growing plants that create a strong aroma, this can usually be contained with the addition of an active carbon filter equipped fan. You can install automatic light or misting cycles without being disturbed and with the light and missed contained at all times. There is no easier way to set up a controlled environment for your hydro grow projects than with a growbox..

Grow Light Bulbs Last Longer With Digital Ballasts
Susan Slobac asked:
Growing plants indoors can extend your growing season, especially if you live in a cold-weather climate that makes gardening outside next to impossible in the winter. You will want to get a grow light system in order to provide your plants with enough and appropriate light. If you choose HID, or high intensity discharge lights, you’ve made a great choice because the bulbs most closely imitate natural sunlight and they last a long time. In order to use these types of grow lights, you will need some type of ballasts. A ballast is used to control the flow of currency through the bulb. If you choose digital ballasts for your grow lamps, they will last longer.
There are different types of ballasts available. An electrical ballast is used to limit the current flowing into a circuit. One of its benefits is that it helps the bulb operate at a higher efficiency. Electrical ballasts also come with an instant start, rapid start, and programmed start. Some use more energy than others, and some offer more reliable starts that others depending on which you might select.
Digital ballasts offer several advantages that other types of ballasts do not. One is that they weigh less than other types, an important consideration when you are hanging several lights above your plants. Another is that they run silently and have a greater efficiency than other ballasts, both of which save you aggravation and money. Digital versions of ballasts have start up times that are quicker than other types of ballasts, and they come in compact designs, so you can fit more grow lights into a smaller space.
These digital ballasts also allow the lamps to put out more light than with other ballasts. It will save you a lot of money over time to use a digital ballast that allows the grow bulb to put out twenty to thirty percent more light, yet will run on the same amount of electricity.
Digitals ballasts are also safer than other models. Digitals come with circuitry that cuts off in dangerous situations. They also produce less heat, thereby increasing the safety. Digital ballasts can be used with metal halide lamps or with HPS, or high pressure sodium, lights.
Metal halide lamps give off blue light, and this is what you need if you are trying to get your plants to send up new growth. High pressure sodium lights produce light in the red end of the spectrum, which is useful if you are trying to get the plants to flower or produce fruits. No matter what type of hydroponic grow lights your plants require, there is a digital ballast that will both meet your needs and extend the life of your grow light bulbs.

Blossoming Patios – Growing Plants in Small Spaces
Thomas Fyrd asked:
You can enjoy a garden of colorful flowers or nourishing vegetables even if you only have a small space. With container gardening, you can make a garden in the smallest of apartments. You can choose from a seemingly endless number of styles and colors of containers to hold your plants.
For landscape containers, you can choose a standard old or new flowerpot (large or small), planter boxes, fiberglass tubs, wooden barrels, hanging baskets, concrete planters, and so on. Anything that can hold the soil and plants can potentially work in a small yard landscaping plan. You are sure to find something to fit your space, both in size and style. The following guidelines will help you get ideas to have a successful container garden.
Know Your Container
Growing plants in pots gives you lots of flexibility. You can move the planters from place to place, into and out of sunlight or humidity.
Cheap plastic pots will become weak if they are exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time. It is best to get pots with UV inhibitors if you want it to be durable.
Not all glazed pots are great for planting, even if they look nice. Pots need drainage holes about
