My "Single-Unit Hydroponic Grow Bin" 2.0

This thread will show how to build the grow bin and then follow along for six weeks as the example veggies grows.

(This is an upgrade from my proof of concept found here: https://infosec.exchange/@tinker/111321153719012419)

The goal of this grow bin is:

  • To be small enough to fit in most places (the diameter of the base is 7 inches).
  • To be self contained with everything needed to grow a plant.
  • To be passive / automated / hands off - plant the seed, wait six weeks, harvest.
  • To be exceedingly cheap (with bulk supplies, the individual unit cost comes out to about $10)
  • Not require a lot of maintenance.
  • To be simple to make.
  • To be powered by a wall socket or USB battery (for folks charging batteries using one off solar panels).

This answers the obstacles of hydroponics being portrayed as requiring an expensive startup cost, having dedicated or expansive space for hydroponic growing, require special or complex equipment, or special knowledge and skills.

IT'S ADHD FRIENDLY!!!!

Start growing whenever you get around to it. Doesn't require following growing seasons.
Once you start growing, you can forget about it until it's done growing.

This grow bin utilizes the Kratky method of hydroponics.

(See how-to build in following thread.)

On this #TransDayOfVisiblity, I want to specifically highlight Bernie Wagenblast.

She is one of the famous announcer voices for New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority! (See video for demonstration)

From her wikipedia page: Bernie Wagenblast is a transportation journalist, radio personality and voice-over artist. She is the founder and editor of the Transportation Communications Newsletter. She also edits The AASHTO Daily Transportation Update, published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and hosts AASHTO's ETAP Podcast and the ITE Talks Transportation podcast for the Institute of Transportation Engineers.

Trans folks putting the 'trans' in public transit!

#thesuntrip2024 #recumbent #solarbike #solarpunk Společně s @cobic se chystáme zapsat do historie se zatím nejlíp připravenou českou solární expedicí! Tohle je jeho kolo s poněkusld šíleným systémem řízením, moje kolo by mělo být zkompletované v pondělí.

Inovativní přístup jordánských a katarských vědců spočíval v umístění sekundární věže na vnější stranu stoupací věže a skrápění suchého horkého vzduchu, který již jednou prošel turbínou, vodní mlhou.

Letošní #solarbike #solarpunk experiment sice začal zatím nejefektivnější solární nástavbou z hlediska jízdních vlastností a hmotnosti, ale taky zkratem step-up modulu... protože plastová krabička, do které jsme s kolegou dali druhý modul pro step-down na napětí USB, byla ve skutečnosti pokovená a tudíž vodivá - což nás mělo napadnout... Takže změna plánu z dálkové cykloturistiky na vlak a baťoh...

Ale dlouhodobě bych solární #bikepacking viděl jako perspektivní. Správně umístěné panely za jezdcem, které nezasahují do proudu vzduchu aerodynamiku klasického kola zlepšují, ne zhoršují (vypozorováno při jízdě z kopce). Tohle konkrétní uspořádání navíc vypadá trochu jako TIE fighter 😉


When I first learned about #SolarPunk, I immediately thought about Eloi from the classic "Traveler in Time" by H.G. Wells.
I never really feel as unflappably positive and optimistic as SolarPunk postulates. I am much more into being a (non-cannibalist) Morlock of sorts. And now I have a name for it: #LunarPunk.

I'm Allison, a freelance copyeditor (and sometimes writer & artist) hoping to connect with international comrades who share my enthusiasm for speculative fiction, mountains, disability justice, and ecosocialism.

We might get along if

- you're still wearing PPE,
- you have a favorite plant (bonus points if you wear it as a tattoo),
- you like The Expanse despite its being on Amazon, and/or
- Bernie 2016 broke your heart.

Hope to meet a lot of new folks soon. Glad to be here!

P.S. I'm also going to keep an eye out for

Just posted a new article! I explore the possibility of combining Compressed Air Energy Storage with Biochar pyrolysis for a "shovel-ready" and rural friendly energy storage regime.

Hi everyone, I'm Paul Czege. I make roleplaying and storytelling games. Sometimes I make board games to play with my ten-year-old son. If you know any of my games it's probably My Life with Master. Though someone shared one of my checklist NPCs to Reddit a few weeks ago:
