in this video I’m going to show you my

garden now you’re probably wondering

what am I doing in my basement well

let’s just take a look and I’ll show you

something pretty cool this is

hydroponics and hydroponics can be grown

in simple water now right now we have a

water cycle there’s minerals in this

55-gallon barrel of water plus about two

cups of minerals that cycle through

these buckets of rocks these are pellets

and all the water does is it cycles

through it feeds all the plants and then

it drains right out each day so it goes

through a cycle and these minerals

basically feed these tiny vegetable

plants this is not marijuana by the way

these are kale pepper tomato and

different types of lettuce leaves

they’re exotic Leslie so it’s basically

the plants feed on the minerals and

there’s no pests it’s all organic you

can pretty much grow enough vegetables

to feed your whole family in a closet

because these vegetables will go right

up to the ceiling about eight foot tall

and I’m still trying to figure out how

these plants grow this big because

you’re just feeding in water with

minerals but they’re very nutrient dense

because you can control the pH you can

control the minerals you can control the

sunlight which is a growing light which

basically is on a timer but one of my

secret weapons is this thing right here

one of my patients was a soil scientist

works of USDA told me about it’s called

biochar now biochar is amazing this was

found in the Amazon fertile soils you

know if you hear about the Amazon so as

being very fertile they’re all man-made

actually and they found a long time ago

who ever lived there took the plant are

they the the wood and they burned it

with bearing it so it used very little

oxygen when you when you burn anything

without oxygen you condense the carbon

atoms very very tightly and that

substance which is a type of charcoal

it’s very friendly environment it’s very

friendly on the grant greenhouse effect

it’s very fertile for the soil so I put

this in these plant into these pebbles

underneath here and it makes the

fertility of the soil that much better

because the plants will grow by eight

times so it really potentiates the

fertility of the soil so the plants can

get more nutrition so it’s called

biochar check it out it’s quite amazing

and it’s so inexpensive to use and it’s

being used right now all over the world

to make the soils more fertile so what

I’ll be doing in future videos is I’m

going to show you the different stages

of how this works and how fast it grows

I even have co2 being pumped out too

because plants use co2 and to grow and

they convert they give up oxygen so I’ll

keep you updated so this is just a

little hobby of mine and I will see you

in the next video
