ʻO wai ka ʻōnaehana mahiʻai i loko o ka hale i kūpono i ke kumu kūʻai? Ua hoao au ia lakou a pau

Ma nā ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka māla hydroponic ʻo ia ka ulu ʻana i nā mea kanu me ke aʻa ʻole i ka lepo. I kekahi manawa ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā mea kanu i ka wai, e like me ka Rise a i ʻole Gardyn; i kekahi manawa aia lākou i loko o nā pods i hoʻopili ʻia i kahi wick, e like me ka Click & Grow; a i kekahi manawa, ehu a noe ka wai ma ko lakou mau a’a, e like me ka Letuce Grow. ʻO ka maʻamau, hana kēia kaʻina hana me kahi kumu kukui i hana ʻia, i loko a i ʻole i loko o kahi pā waho.

Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻohui ʻana o nā hua maʻemaʻe me ka ʻole o ka lepo, lepo, a i ʻole nā ​​​​pesticides synthetic, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka wai o ka hydroponic ma mua o nā ʻano ulu maʻamau, ʻoiai ʻo ka wai a pau i hoʻohana ʻia ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia a lawe ʻia paha e nā mea kanu. Wahi a kekahi poʻe mahiʻai e loaʻa iā lākou nā hua kiʻekiʻe mai nā ʻōnaehana hydroponic, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka mālama ʻana i nā loli o ke aniau, ka mālamalama, a me nā meaʻai. A ma muli o kēia mau ʻano like ʻole, hiki i ka poʻe mahiʻai ke hoʻoulu i nā ʻano mea kanu i kēlā me kēia kau a i ʻole ka ʻāina. A ʻaʻohe nāhelehele!

Ma kahi o nā mea āu e noʻonoʻo ai! Ua nīnau au iā FX Rouxel, ka mea nāna i hana iā Gardyn, inā he mea āu hiki ole ulu i loko o kēia mau ʻōnaehana, ʻokoʻa nā mea kanu noho ʻāina e like me ka pīni a i ʻole ka ʻuala. “ʻO nā mea a pau i loaʻa nā aʻa nui,” i’ōlelo aiʻo ia-e like me kāloti, parsnips, a pēlā aku. “Inā ʻaʻole, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea nui loa, e like me nā ʻāpala a i ʻole nā ​​​​lemona.” No laila, aia iā ʻoe: ʻAʻohe aʻa lōʻihi, ʻaʻohe lāʻau. Akā ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe he pāʻani kūpono e hoʻāʻo ai.

ʻO ka mea mua, ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ke kumu kūʻai o nā ʻōnaehana hydroponic huna ma mua o ke kanu ʻana i nā hua ma waho i ka lepo. A laila pono ʻoe e hopohopo e pili ana i ka pau ʻana o ka mana, ka mālama ʻana i ka paila, nā algae, a me ka mālama maʻamau. A inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e makaʻala, hiki i ka wai ke hoʻopaʻa i kekahi mau mea ʻino, ʻoiai inā he mea hoʻomomona wale nō ia, e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia e WIRED ʻo Lisa Wood Shapiro i kona nānā ʻana i ka Plantaform. Wahi a kekahi, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka ʻono o nā mea kanu hydroponically, nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo, a me nā mea kanu ma mua o ko lākou mau mea kanu lepo, akā ʻaʻole wau i ʻike i kahi ʻokoʻa. Ua ulu au i nā pī paʻi ʻono loa, ka puaʻala, nā pīni iwi, nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo salakeke, a me nā strawberries i loko o ka wai i hoʻomoʻa ʻia. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo kekahi o nā kukama maikaʻi loa i loaʻa iaʻu i koʻu ola mai kaʻu Gardyn Studio, o nā wahi āpau.

I ka pōkole, ʻaʻole. ʻO nā ʻōnaehana i hoʻomākaukau ʻia e hoʻoneʻe wale i ka nui o ka pilikia a me ke kuhi mai ke kaʻina hana, a maʻamau ke nānā aku i ka nani i ke kaʻina hana. He mea maikaʻi nō hoʻi ka loaʻa ʻana o ka palapala hōʻoia a me ke kākoʻo ʻenehana inā hewa kekahi mea, a e like me ka mea maʻamau me nā mea i hoʻopiha ʻia me ka wai, ke hele hewa kekahi mea, hele ia. maoli hewa. (E kamaʻilio ana, e ʻike pono e nānā i kā mākou alakaʻi i ka Best Water Leak Detectors.)

Ma muli o ka mea āu e ulu nei a me ka nui o nā mea kanu ponoʻī hiki ke kūpono i kāu ʻōnaehana. ʻO kaʻu mau hua mai ka liʻiliʻi o nā lau letus ma Click & Grow a hiki i nā ʻeke nui o nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo salakeke i kēlā me kēia lā i ka Rise-ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hiki i koʻu ʻohana ke ʻai. E like me ke kānāwai, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o nā letus a me nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻē aʻe, ʻoiai nā mea kanu hua e like me nā ʻōmato a me nā pepa e ulu mālie a i kekahi manawa pono ka pollination e hua. (No ka laʻana, me nā strawberries, pono iaʻu e hoʻohana i kahi pulu liʻiliʻi e palaki i nā pua i kēlā me kēia kakahiaka.)

ʻO ka hapa nui o kēia mau ʻōnaehana he hoʻokahi kapuaʻi ʻehā a ʻelua wale nō, no laila ʻaʻole i manaʻo nui ʻia ka lewa e like me nā kukui a me ka walaʻau pā. Pono nā kukui no kēia mau kīhāpai ma kahi o 16 mau hola o ka lā, a he mālamalama lākou, no laila inā pilikia kēia papahana, makemake paha ʻoe e hoʻokaʻawale iā lākou mai kahi lumi moe a i ʻole kekahi lumi ʻē aʻe kahi e pono ai ka pōʻeleʻele. Ma kahi moʻolelo e pili ana, ʻo ka nui o kēia mau māla, e like me ka Lettuce Grow a me Gardyn, loaʻa nā pōʻaiapuni leo nui, ʻoiai e holo mau ana ka pamu o Rise. ʻAʻole wau makemake e kau i kahi kīhāpai me kahi pōʻaiapili puʻupuʻu walaʻau kokoke i kahi TV a i ʻole ke keʻena, kahi e hoʻopilikia ai ka walaʻau i kekahi mau manawa o ka lā. Inā hopohopo kekahi walaʻau, no ka laʻana, i ka wā e noho ana ma ka papahele o luna o kahi keʻena, makemake paha ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i kahi māla leo ʻole e like me ka Auk a i ʻole Click & Grow.

ʻO nā māla me nā inoa inoa a / a i ʻole nā ​​​​pods proprietary, e like me Gardyn a me Click & Grow, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumukūʻai ma mua o kahi ʻōnaehana DIY maoli e like me ka LetPot. Ma ka ʻaoʻao hoʻokahi, me nā pods proprietary, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e kiʻi i nā hua a i ʻole nā ​​huaʻala; hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo ua kūpono nā ʻanoʻano no kēlā ʻōnaehana a me ka hydroponics ma ke ʻano nui, a inā ʻaʻole e ulu kekahi mea, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kahi pani a hoʻihoʻi. Akā ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he kumukūʻai hou kēia e hōʻemi ana i nā kālā āu e loaʻa ai mai ka ulu ʻana i kāu meaʻai a pua. No ka mana, ʻo nā ʻōnaehana me ka pauma e holo mau ana, e like me Rise, e ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumukūʻai ma mua o nā mea me ka pau ʻole, e like me ka Auk. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole au i ʻike i kahi puʻupuʻu koʻikoʻi o kaʻu bila uila i ka wā e hoʻāʻo ai i kēia mau māla, koe wale no hoʻokahi manawa i loaʻa iaʻu ʻehiku (ʻae, ʻehiku) hele i ka manawa hoʻokahi.

Wehe au i ka pahu, hoʻākoakoa, a hoʻonohonoho i kēlā me kēia māla e like me ka mea i wehewehe ʻia ma nā kuhikuhi i hāʻawi ʻia, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hua, nā ʻōpala, a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea kanu i hele mai me ka māla. Ua nānā au i ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana, ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻohana ʻana, nā pono mālama, pehea ka nui o ka nui o kēlā me kēia ʻōnaehana e pono ai, a pehea ka maikaʻi (a ʻaʻole maikaʻi paha) nā mea kanu a me ke kumu. Ua ʻike au i ka mea i hoʻokomo ʻia a ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo ʻia me kēlā me kēia ʻōnaehana, a ʻae i nā mea kanu a pau e ulu a hiki i ka pae o ka ʻohi ʻana, me ka nānā ʻana i ka bolting, yield, a me ke olakino ākea. He makua hana manawa piha au, no laila ua nānā au i nā pono mālama, nā papa hana māmā, a me nā pilikia maʻamau i hiki mai a hoʻonāukiuki iaʻu.

Nui koʻu makemake e pili ana i ka māla i loko a ke nānā nei au i nā mea e hana nei ma ka ʻāina: he aha ka mea hou, he aha ka wela, he aha ka hana no nā kānaka, he aha ka hana ʻole. Ke nānā mau nei au i nā mea hou hoihoi aʻu i manaʻo ai he ʻoluʻolu a manaʻo wau e mahalo ka poʻe heluhelu WIRED. ʻAʻole pili ke kūlana pili i kaʻu hoʻoholo e pili ana i ka mea e hoʻāʻo ai a kākau ai. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi māla i loko o ka ʻenehana i mua āu e makemake ai ʻaʻole wau i hōʻike ʻia, e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻomaopopo iaʻu i nā manaʻo.

ʻO ka hapa nui o nā māla i loaʻa iaʻu no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana he mau laʻana i hāʻawi ʻia e nā hui, me ka ʻole o ka hōʻoiaʻiʻo o ka uhi ʻana a i ʻole ka manaʻo o ke ʻano o ia uhi. Mālama ʻia kekahi o nā kīhāpai e WIRED i mea e hoʻokō ai i ka hoʻāʻo lōʻihi, aʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe i hāʻawi ʻia ma ka ʻāina.
