A couple of late nights over the weekend and the Yukon Gold’s are on their way.  First off I built a wooden frame to support the plastic totes. This was constructed from 2×1 furring strips and a lot of screws.

My name is Jonathan and I am an IT professional from Nova Scotia, Canada. I’ve been doing hydroponic growing for over a year now off and on. So far I’ve stuck to leafy type vegetables such as lettuce and swiss chard. That’s about to change.
