Batch#01 - 21 Feb - Day 72

Winding Down Batch 1
Have been harvesting pretty regularly. Enjoying the produce thus far. 

Seems like the fungal or mildew or nutrient lock issue is spreading from Tiers 1 and 2 to Tier 4.

So perhaps it's time to wind down this batch and to clean the system. Target system clean is 18 Mar, during the Mar hols. Will experiment with new batch of lettuce, with dedicated equipments (scissors) and portable fan for top up tiers and to apply crop rotation. 

Hypothesis here is that with crop rotation, each batch of water nutrient mix can be further prolonged. 

Will harvest the Red Oaks and Lollas till then. 

Also have to start thinking of a plan to transfer the Basil too. 

Thanks to a fellow YH enthusiasts, improved the water level indicator with this mosquito prevention net.

YESH! My Yashponics Kit has arrived

    The Eagle has Landed! And so here it is. Not exactly an eagle, but the Yashponic 4-tier black kit. After a short 4 days wait after placing the order for pre-existing stock, the box arrived yesterday, late evening.  Time to be Bob the Builder Decided to start on the hardware set up today, since I am unsure how long it will take me. As shared in the videos put up by helpful Yashponics owners, it takes around 2.5 hours. The assembly videos are helpful. They gave me a good idea of how to start and the overall concept of the built. The whole process made all that easier, thanks to the numbered parts. And yes the whole kit is up and ready.  Easy to set up? My Verdict... With the videos provided by Yash, the numbered parts, it's totally a breeze to get the whole kit up. Took my time to unbox the parts, lay them out (in other words, you need some space for all these), and put them together.  Only boo-boo along the way is that I forgot to rinse all the parts as advised! And since I'

18 Jan Bok Choi Harvest #4

And yes... after just 15 days, the BC are ready harvest again. Round 4! Sturdy green leaves. Rrally happy with the deep green look and feel of the BC. Harvested 2 large bowls from 12 plants from both tiers. There is very little wastage, just a small handful of yellowing leaves. And yes, into the wok they go for a big plate of BC stir fry with fish cakes, the family favourite. The before and after harvest look. And after... The bottom tier is showing good growth of White Crown Bok Choi. These are the slimmer and greener stem cousin of the BC. Growth is pretty fast too. Seeded on 31 Dec. EC kept to 1200. Looking forward a new batch of green for the LNY!
