+1 on what Charlie said!

Happy winter solstice everyone! Here's a quick update video on what's been happening in the greenhouse.

Finally finished our newsletter! See what's been happening around here of the past few months. I think we're busier during the winter than the summer!

Here's a quick look at why we choose to grow in media beds, towers, and DWC.

The greenhouse has no problem with the weight of the snow... Keeping natural light coming it is the real problem!

And the UK is complaining about an inch of wet snow snarling up the country!! Terrific inspiring video, as always!

Question, the music has become quite sentimental, no more piano rags! Getting older perhaps

I felt like switching it up a bit and finding music that fits the mood of the video better. I've been trying to get my daughter to play something on the piano as she it very good. The trick is to find something that is royalty-free.

Well, you could write it! You seem to be able to do everything else without breaking a sweat!

For the royality free, have a look here:

People upload their music just for people to put in youtube videos.

I made a video with a song I liked, youtube took it down after 10 minutes

Getting rid of some of our aphids. I've already had a few complaints about this video as some people are claiming fish kills using it. I haven't had any problems using it, but it's still important to make sure it's not getting into your water.

New Swirl Filter is finally installed!

That new swirl filter looks great! I love your whole setup.

Are you still using that bilge pump that you got earlier on in your tread? Just wondering how long they last, I just bought one myself.

the bilge pumps are long gone. They last about 3-4 months before the brushes wear out. They aren't designed for continuous use.

Maybe you can return yours?

Ok, thanks. I will keep it for a backup pump. The pump I currently have works great, I was just trying to convert everything to DC.

I've tried but you have to get brushless DC pumps. $$$ I just run with an inverter which is basically how a brushless DC pump does with it's controller.
