Chelation: Crucial for hydroponic gardening

January 21, 2015 by ashley 4 Comments

Chelation: the interaction between a metal ion and a chelating agent. Chelating Agent: Chemicals that form soluble, complex molecules with certain metal ions, inactivating the ions so that they cannot normally react with other elements or ions. Now that we've gotten the definitions out of the way, here's a quick explainer on why understanding chelation (key-LAY-shun) is vital for hydroponics gardening: The nutrients you mix up to form solutions in water are charged metal ions. … [Read more...] about Chelation: Crucial for hydroponic gardening

Winter Wonderland my A..

January 16, 2011 by fifthseason 1 Comment

A harsh winter can spell mental doom for the avid gardener. A potent cocktail of cabin fever, kerosene fumes, and clothing with more layers than a decadent sundae can unravel the nerves. Snow loses its sled worthy status.  It's once regal standing bumped down to mere eye irritant. How does one avoid these occasional lapses with sanity?

The great duos of our society--Peanut Butter and Jelly, Burger and Fries, Hall and Oates--will always be a part of our everyday pleasure. Sure, they're good apart, but once united, the impact is exponentially infinite. In the growing world, a duos' impact can turn a meek plot into a thriving garden. One of the best combinations for this transformation is the union of humate and seaweed extracts, more specifically found in Nature's Nog.
