Talk:Garden/Hydroponics Veggie Garden
From London Hackspace Wiki
Are there any sites where you can look up ph cF requirements for plants? I'd be curious about growing:
- asparagus ph:6.0-8.0 cf:12-18
- broccoli ph:6.0-6.8 cf:16-24
- pok choi ph:6.0-7.5 cf:16-22
A simple google should suffice. I found these two resources. Although not comprehensive, they're a good starting point:
- http://www.cheapvegetablegardener.com/ph-needs-of-plants-in-soil-or-hydroponics/
- http://www.hydroponics.co.nz/cf_values.html
I'll be buying the seeds this week so if you want me to add anything to the list please update the main page with the pH and cF values if they fit into our current target.
You'll notice mint doesn't really fit - from my personal experience mint is a bit of a weed and thrives in most conditions so I want to try it here :)
