arugula（ PET bottle hydroponics）

Grows in a short period from sowing to harvesting and can be used for salads, etc.
Isn't there any vegetable that can be taken all year round?
I looked around and found a vegetable called arugula.
This is like a vegetable that has been cultivated since the Roman era! I tried to cultivate.

First, I'll investigate Arugula

(^ ◇ ^)
Arugula has continuous cropping problems, and when grown in the shade a little,
it seems to be soft and delicious leaves.
If there is a continuous cropping failure, is it hydroponics?
I thought I brought up with hydroponics this time.

First, sowing seeds

Daiso (One Dollar shop) buys two 100 yen arugula seeds

(/・ω・)/

Plastic bottle hydroponic plant (> > Learn more about how to make it )

and lightly cover with palm peat. ( Arugula is lightly seeded and lightly covered. )

* Arugula doesn't like replanting, so it sows directly.

The sowing of arugula started on May 17, 2016.

The average temperature in May was 20 ° C in Tokyo.
(The optimal temperature for germination of arugula is 15 ~ 20 ℃.)

Three days later, the seeds germinated. (^ ◇ ^)

* When growing in Otsuka House (OAT House), use 2000 times concentrated solution from germination to harvest.

4 days after germination,

The leaves are like a four-leaf clover.

Premonition of happiness! ('ω')

After 12 days,

That! It ’s not a four-leaf clover. w

After 18 days,

The leaves seem to grow vertically from the center.

('ω')

After 25 days,

It has become a form of arugula on the cover of the seed.

The harvest target is 15 ㎝ (^ ◇ ^)

The current height is about 8cm, so I will try to harvest when it is about twice this.
