Gardening Expo

Today, Levi and I went to the Park Stake Gardening Expo. It has different booths about gardening in different ways. It is so fascinating to see how different ideas for one thing. :)

I have taken up with the idea of doing sprouting in my apartment. Luckily there are two other families who would like to split the Sprouting Kit which costs about 90 dollars. So! We will split the cost and the sprouting kit. Hopefully we can get started with that project.

I found a new push of motivation for starting my little apartment garden for herbs. I really want to have herb garden... I guess I can start now. :)

Levi had a taste of interpreting for my deaf friends. It is neat to watch him endeavor to sign and try to make sure he gives the main concepts of what the woman was trying to explain about Hypodermic gardening.  Gratefully, the deaf friends were patient and attentive. They feed him signs what he spelled.

Hypodermic gardening (I hope I spelled it right) is a garden without soil. It uses fabric (for smaller garden) or carpet (for bigger garden) as for the floor. Then use the package popcorns, soda cans, mulch, newspaper, or any fillers to hold the plants up in the sun. Also it requires several containers of water with nutrients and have the containers to leak the water/nutrients into the fabric or carpet to feed the plants and keep the "ground" moist.

That is an interesting project to do for our future home. :)
