I cut my indoor basil and mint plants way back because they were making a mess. I hope they bounce back! This week, I'll go out looking for a couple pepper plants to try kratky for the first time outdoors. Basically, I make a big nutrient solution in a bucket, I leave the plant's dirt slightly submerged in the water, and hopefully the plant roots into the nutrients and grows like crazy. I have a small backyard and no hose hookup so I want this to be a simple solution to grow red peppers or poblanos' as well as a spicy pepper like a jalapeño or Thai chili. Step 1 is finding the seedlings!
I'm very excited to see how this works for you! Wishing you the best luck finding your peppers and remembering to take lots of pictures to share here
Will do!
