    Create a Garden with No Soil, and Little Work

    Learn how thousands of americans are using hydroponic techniques to grow their own food

    Saturday, November 9 2019

    If you’re like me, you’re already interested in learning how to start a garden. Or maybe you already have an outdoor garden going! But today I want to talk about hydroponic gardening… gardening without soil.

    I started growing my own food as a way of guaranteeing the quality… I don’t have to rely on labels to know that my food is grown without GMOs and the use of harmful pesticides. I also know that no matter what happens at the super market… I’ll have a steady stream of fresh vegetables and fruit to support my family.

    If you currently live off store-bought food, it is likely you are consuming GMOs/pesticides which can be detrimental to your health. More specifically, GMO/pesticide-contaminated food can cause immune problems, accelerated aging and allergies.

    As I hinted at… I want to be prepared in the case of an emergency. Food shortages, while rare, are still a real possibility. In addition to food kits, I think my garden will give my family the edge it needs to help survive any unknown.

    As anyone who’s plunged into the world of home gardens knows… it’s no easy task. Plants, surprisingly, don’t grow themselves. All you need is the right direction…

    One of the biggest reasons hydroponics has become so popular is because recent studies on hydroponic farming have shown it to have many benefits.

    Plants grown hydroponically are of exceedingly high quality, occupy less space, and consume fewer resources than traditional growing methods. Hydroponic techniques also makes it easy to grow large amounts of vegetables in small spaces or even indoors. This makes it easy to grow year-round food.

    Ok… Hydroponic Gardens are useful (and cool!), but they look so complicated! How do I get started?

    That’s where I come in.

    My name is Susan Patterson and I’m the author of The Hydroponic Garden Secret, a top-selling book in America (and now its just being released internationally).

    Meet The 60-Year-Old Mailman Who Spends Every Sunday Cleaning Headstones Of Veterans

    With his soft-bristled brush and specialized cleaning solution in hand, 60-year-old Clarence Hollowell heads to the cemetery, ready to work on his day off.

    During the workweek, Hollowell is a mailman with the Jacksonville Beach Post Office in Florida.

    But on Sundays, Hollowell has a different gig: He voluntarily cleans the worn down headstones of U.S. veterans.

    “Everybody’s gotta have a project. And I think if you can help the community, even better,” Hollowell told The Florida Times-Union.

    Hollowell told the Times-Union that he comes from a military family and even served in the U.S. Army. He started cleaning headstones when he lived in North Carolina and has continued his tradition after moving to Florida.

    Hollowell is fascinated by the names and dates written on the veterans’ graves. He always writes the names down and does a bit of research to learn what he can of each person’s story.

    “I go to Ancestry.com and find out about them,” he said.

    Hollowell takes his time with each headstone, cleaning them with D/2 Biological Solution, a cleaning agent known for removing stains and stubborn build-up of mold, algae and mildew from cemetery gravestones.

    The process takes time, Hollowell says, approximately two to three weeks before a headstone is restored to an attractive light gray color. Sometimes, he will work on a particularly rundown headstone for months.

    On Memorial Day, Hollowell chose to visit the Old City Cemetery in Springfield, Florida, cleaning two headstones belonging to Capt. S.L. Tibbitts and 1st Lt. Joseph H. Huau.

    As he worked, he reflected on what Memorial Day means to him and pondered the stories of the veterans who cannot share them.

    “Every town has a story. These guys probably never left their hometowns and, let’s face it, had the greatest adventure of their whole lives,” he said.

    “They were 18, 20-year-old boys that didn’t come home,” Hollowell said. “My definition of Memorial Day is they gave their tomorrows so I could have mine today.”

    Hollowell estimates he has cleaned around 600 graves as of May 26, 2019, and finds deep satisfaction in seeing the revitalized headstones. He refers to them as his “pride and joy.”
