Aero Garden Results

I probably should have posted these results earlier but here they are.

Results	Weight (g)
Basil	164.66
Mint	32.68
Thyme	11.70
Oregano	5.90
Dill	108.29
Total	323.23

The results given are after using two of the nutrient tablets from the other seed kit. You should be able to expect about 300 grams of herbs from a single winter season. I would assume that if you did this over the summer you would get better results since our results are for an Alaskan winter. Now that the days are getting longer we have seen a significant increase in the yield.

I decided to put this post up because the next time we change out the water we will be experimenting with an non-AeroGarden brand of nutrients. Expense wise it is only slightly cheaper because I only purchased a small amount of the nutrient solution. I wanted to do this because the herbs have been producing so nicely now, that I hated to let them just die.

We will also be experimenting with making our own hydroponics container from scratch.

5-8 Memory Verse for Lesson 7

5-8 Memory Verse for Lesson 6

"God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love -- not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins" (1 John 4:9, 10).
