The goal is to keep myself and my gf supplied with fresh greens for salads. Spinach is awesome, but it's expensive.
I'm planning on starting up a few beds of lettuce and spinach. I know there's lots of info out there, and I plan on doing lots of reading, but I figured I'd post my plans here to work things out, and eventually post some pics of putting everything together.
I'm planning on using a coco/perlite mix, and I picked up some Age Old Organics - Grow (12-6-6). This should work, whether or not it's ideal I don't know yet, I've still got to track down the optimal nute and PH levels for leaf lettuce and spinach.
I'll be throwing together a pretty simple system, maybe three different shelves. One on the bottom for a 10-15 gallon reservoir, and a bed on each level or something like that...
I'd love to hear any input anybody has!
