The greenhouse right now is filled with flowers. Remember the fruit trees that are waiting for transplanting? Many of them are currently in full bloom. I took some really crazy closeup shots, and it just blows my mind how each flower is so different from the next, yet so the same.

Right now we have a crop of dark, leafy green kale going nuts in the greenhouse. It’s a power veggie, packed with vitamins and minerals. Most people know that it’s super nutritious, but did you know that vegetables grown with General Hydroponics nutrients actually have more nutrition than most soil grown crops? This is due [...]

Besides the difference in size between this and the smaller greenhouse, their functions are different as well. The [...]

GHE stands for General Hydroponics Europe. Did you know that we have a large, successful branch of the company that operates out of France? GHE serves to bring the same quality and innovation to the gardeners outside of the American continent. They produce and sell many of the same products that we release. Their markets [...]
