Saluyot and Basil Hydrophonics Experiment

During the Covid lockdown, I started a hydrophonics experiment planting saluyot (jute in English, molochia or Egyptian Spinach) and basil using an improvised water culture system. It may sound too technical, but it's just a plastic storage container filled with water, an aerator and a pair of grow lights.

I am just so excited to share how this experiment turned out - so far, I have prepared eight or ten meals out of this system and being indoors, it seems that it may last even through the winter. I am now even thinking of making an outdoor system next spring!

Saluyot is a favorite Ilocano vegetable. I also love cooking pasta so I included basil in the mix. Having this accessible indoor garden setup makes me feel closer to home (Philippines) and still going Italian!

If you have any questions how I did it, just ask!

Btw, the background music is also mine. It's entitled "Remembering Home".
