How to grow your own greens???

[tyryce]

Wasn't sure if this topic belonged in the Feeding or DIY. Where I live it is difficult to get the turnip greens , collard, Escarole and Endive. I was thinking that it would be really handy if I could grow these items in my house over winter then outside during the summer. But as far as growing inside I was also wondering if it can be done hydroponically? I have no experience with growing plants inside or hydroponically at all and was wondering if anyone knows if this can be done. It would sure save time running around and save money plus I would have greens for my beardie and turtles as well. Also I would be learning something new which is always cool. Any direction, advice or procedures would be greatly appreciated! Can post reply or PM me.

Thanks,

Danielle

Last summer I made a small garden in a childs pool and grew veggies for Boga! It was fun and yummy!

I use 5 gallon pickle buckets from Burger King. I drill holes in the bottom, pea pebble after that, then I fill to 2" below rim with my own composted soil. I get a pretty good harvest, and with my greenhouse (last years' tax return) I still have some leaf lettuces going. These are easily moved either by hand, or placing on a footer with casters, you can let a few go to seed ( I had 10, 5 went to seed) to continue the goodies!
If you need more information, feel free to pm me.

I think you can sprinkle alfalfa seeds on a wet napkin and it will grow.
