This is the final episode in this current run of Look Ma No Soil, so we are harvesting and tasting our crop! I will recap a few of the things we have discussed along the way, and show off my red robin micro dwarf tomato harvest as well as the surprise of my NuMex April Fool's pepper plant!

Today I am talking about using Neem Oil to control pests and disease on your plants. A lot of people have heard that they can use Neem oil to control aphids, mites, thrips, locusts and countless other pests - but there is more to it than that. If you just go buy pre-mixed neem oil at the store it will NOT work as you want. You need to make your own spray with cold-pressed neem oil, water, and soap. I will show you the right way to do this and share some important tips on how to use neem oil in your garden. It's safe to use on your hydroponic plants and can also be safely used outdoors!

In this episode I will show you a quick look at an active hydroponics system using the deep water culture technique. This method of growing hydroponics uses an air pump to add oxygen to the reservoir so that you can keep the nutrient level full. Deep water culture is one of the easiest methods of active hydroponic growing. I'll show you how to build a simple system and how I transplant seedlings into hydro. We will also take a look at the other hydroponic plants I have growing in the tent.

Today I am showing you an example of what can go wrong, and why. I made a mistake that I hope I can help prevent you from making too! Be sure to watch the whole thing as I also included a tour of my garden tent and some of the other hydroponic projects I have growing. We all make mistakes, sometimes things don't go as we hope. But with hydroponics you can always have a backup plan or just start over, it's so fast! I share a couple common mistakes new and veteran hydro growers might run across and a few ideas on how to avoid or correct these issues.

In episode 5 I will share an update on the plants and then show you my OTHER favorite way to grow hydroponic vegetables indoors! These little machines are plant growing magic - seriously. I'm talking about the Aerogarden. This isn't a tutorial on how to grow in an Aerogarden, just an overview of what's possible. I'll be doing an Aerogarden tutorial video soon.

In this episode I share some tips and tricks to keep your hydroponic food growing strong!

In this video I show you how to mix the hydroponic nutrients your plants will need to grow!

In episode 2 of Look Ma, No Soil I show you how to prep your containers and get planting in hydroponics!

This is the first in a series of videos teaching you how to grow food indoors using low cost hydroponics. The same techniques will work outdoors with the sun, to save even more money! Knowing how to cultivate food year round is an important and fun skill to learn. Even if you live in a cold climate you can use these techniques to grow fruits and vegetables indoors.
