My First "Backyard"/Bookshelf Farm

The most amazing thing about hydroponics is that with the correct set up, you don't need a lot of footprint or space to cultivate your crops. 

What I used here a type of Deepwater system where the plant is constantly submerged underwater.  There are ways to give the roots more  aeration opportunities such as the an ebb and flow method but I opted to use a submergible pump to provide that instead (see the green tube at the back).

As you can see in the picture, I was ambitious and tried to grow all the commonly used herbs, both herbaceous and woody. It was a big mistake as the woody ones were quickly susceptible to a fungus infestation which set on the woody parts of the rosemary and thyme plants.
