How did i get into hydroponics?

Posted on by Sea Wolf Farms

People ask how I got started in hydroponics and aquaponics. The AeroGarden was how I got my feet wet years ago. While the original ones have long died I still use one for additional seedlings room or for short small fruiting plants like cherry tomatoes and peppers for personal consumption.

Today we got it up and running again. It’s got 3 cilantro pods and 4 kale pods planted. Let’s see how it grows! The 7 pod is just enough plants for a 3′ tower.

I am looking to bring vertical aquaponic farming to the great concrete jungle of Chicago. I've been doing hobby growing for the last several years and decided after some health issues that it was time for a change of careers and to do something I enjoy doing. I started exploring the possibilities of going commercial with my growing and found that I am not the only person out there trying to improve and change what's growing. I found growing to be very satisfying and fulfilling. I'm excited about the prospect of bringing the absolute freshest herbs and greens to my neighbors and community and am working through the planning stages with a lot of planning and thought and networking to make sure that my dream is a success.
