Hydroponics and Sustainability - progress so far

We have got our designs and have made some prototypes and the plants are in and growing.

We have learnt about the failure rate of planting seeds and seedlings and how delicate they are.

Most of the problems we have had with the lettuces are OVER WATERING but we have got that under control now.

Here is a link from MVTV on whats happened so far

Report # 2

We have got all our units going but like anything they are all at different stages of growth. We have a few flowers on the tomatoes and pea pods on the peas.

This week they had to evaluate their plants and system to say if its going and they haven't killed their plants - we worked out that a mixture of pumice and coconut fibre works well for the lettuces and tomatoes and the peppers we got this week and they are already sprouting new growth

Report #1

The level of participation using Flipgrid and Quizizz is amazing and we will continue using these programmes into 2018.

Photos of the Hydroponic setups so far

One of the extra things we are getting them to do is to take photos of themselves with their plants to display them on the wall.
We are using Photoshop to place multiple shots of themselves with their plant so that will be a new experience using Photoshop and the rest is just pure fun !

Once we have the photos processed we will post them up here

Here is Amberley telling them how to do this
