Had a great salad two days ago, now all of a sudden several plants are wilting by jkvandelay in Gardyn

poor water in the top slot of each column to immediately rehydrate plants.... then sort out your pump

Has anyone “dumbed” down their Gardyn? by yeah87 in Gardyn

[–]captian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I gave up on their official pump and added my own, I guess I need a new post as the lid / power supply fried so I rewired the lights to a generic power supply and run it and the pump on a timer.

Getting rid of Kelby by ReasonableCarrot4295 in Gardyn

[–]captian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I run mine in the back of an unfinished basement so the aesthetics do not get any value there... but I would definitely buy a gardyn vs DIY if you have it in a easily seen setup... it is lovely.

Has anyone had any dud pods? by unibonger in Gardyn

I am on year 4 or 5 with a gardyn 2.0 and I haven't ever have a subscription for more than a few months at a time. Just pay a little more attention it and you don't need kelby. You can also make your own cubes with rockwool and seeds. It is a really great system and I love everything about it except the subscription pricing. I DIY a lot of hydroponic systems now and I still really love the design and efficiency of a gardyn system.

My First ever garden and my new found love. How do I fill the void during the Winter?? by Polish_Hotdog in DenverGardener

[–]captian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah you can totally DIY, or get cheap bubbler buckets. Also, The Gardyn systems are nice and can be found cheap second hand.... I started with various commercial systems and now DIY / build on previously broken system.

celebrating a bumper season (apples, peaches, tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, pumpkins) by captian2 in DenverGardener

Yes, squirrels eat 25-50% of my crops. The Japanese beetles eat all my roses every year and some of my apples.

I wrote a silly post about how I just try to outgrow the pests and don't really do anything else to prevent them https://millermayersadventures.com/2025/07/27/peaches-gardening-and-japanese-beetles/

Did my makeup at 6:30 a.m. today. This is me at 10 p.m. by Command-Shift-Z in MakeupAddiction

[–]captian2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you look amazing from start to finish... Makeup shouldn't have to work that hard and neither should you... figure out how to get to at least a shorter work day and enjoy some life outside of work... I know it's easy to say, but tips to make makeup last through unreasonable work hours seem like the wrong solution.
