Open Question: I have free time and I don't know how to fill it?
Mission
Right around the time a barrel of oil was around $150 USD I stumbled upon an article from an "expert" saying that the solution to resolve hunger was to give more money to poor countries in order to buy more tractors and more agrochemicals! So wrong! Then a thought popped into mind: " Do something! No matter what! Anything is better than nothing! ". Mission: increasing awareness of hydroponics and aquaponics as key tools in fighting hunger around the world.

Hello everyone! How I got into hydroponics is a long story...let's just say that it involves a lot of tedious farm work as a child, unsuccessful 'dirt' gardens of my own and a near electrocution from a semi-submersible hydroponic pump. I've learned that hydroponic gardening is the only way to garden for me and I've been working at it for several years now. I've built ebb/flow, nft, Mittleider, wick and passive systems and I'm always on the lookout for the easiest and most efficient means of hydroponic gardening...If you have questions, I would be more than happy to answer them...
Sooo.... with school coming to an end I have quite a bit of free time and I'd love to tackle some projects. Currently I'm working on a hydroponics window farm for growing some herbs (basil, rosemary, parsley, etc.). I've also thought about building a few different glove boxes and start mushroom farming (probably oyster, morrel, and button cap).Anyway, I've put in the research time on both (and a decent chunk of the production time for the hydroponics farm), and I still think I have room on my plate to tackle some more.I was unable to really have any time to devote to some projects while I was going to school, so I'm really excited and geared about getting my hands dirty again!Any ideas on some fun DIY stuff? (P.S. I'm moving into a new place with a friend and I'm very open to some suggestions on making my room/house amazing!)Thanks!
