Hydroponic Garden

Assalammualaikum :)
Recently, i've been interested with the scraps that i can get from my kitchen and cultivate them using the hydroponic method..!! Hoho~ No need to buy them again and now i can just simply grow them at the corner of my kitchen.

No need much space, no need special care, no need soil and grow forever..!!!!! Well, there are many kinds of vegetables you can try out but for the time being, i've just tried out for the onions,leeks and carrot tops.It's fun and easy and most important.. save your money :) ~ *you're welcome *p

1.Carrots
Before you throw away the scraps, think twice! Keep them and you'll get the top carrots to garnish your dish or to feed your terrapins :) Here's day one..!
See...!! I'm surprised to see how fast it started to grow.Here's day two..!!!!

After four to six days, you'll see the the green tops pop out healthily.
Day nine and still growing..!!! uhuhu..~ you're cute..!
2.Onions
Just put it on top of a jar to promote roots growth
Well, this was day five!! :)
This was after 12 days.. ready to be planted in soil :)
Just remove the onion bulb and keep for cooking.Divide the roots and shoots to plant in soil. 
Day 17..!! :D
If you're planning to plant the onion without using the hydroponics and only plant the roots from the bottom of the onion, the result will be quite slow.This was 17 days..! Short compared to the hydroponic (pic above).
As conclusion, hydroponic are much more faster to promote the growth of the shoot.
(starting from the duck
[left]shortest shoot=roots from the bottom of the onion was directly planted into soil from first day
[right]longest shoot=went hydroponics for 15 days, then planted into soil )

3.Leeks
You will not have problem at all.. easy and just let it grow~ 
cut then grow then cut then grow then bla bla bla..~ ~ ~

Just simply provide a small space for the little plants and let them grow.And without you even notice, they are there when you need them right at the corner of your kitchen.Besides, i don't know why but i always felt like having these greens make my kitchen look even cuter and feel happier while cooking.Hihi..
No hobby?Kill the bore by trying these hydroponic stuffs and you'll be surprised to see how good they can grow and cheer you up :)
