This is my first post this season in this community.

If you speak German (or just wanna see many pics) you can see My Post with walkaround on !gruenerdaumen@feddit.org. Spoiler tho!

I plan to make a similar post, with one month passing, at the end of this month here in this community, this time in English :)

Stay tuned! You will see many amazing solarpunk-y !hydroponics@slrpnk.net setups and other cool stuff ✨

Growing lettuce is very quickly rewarding!

Absolutely zero pests included 🪲
