STEP VIII

Now that the plants are in the mobile garden, we must keep taking care of them. We have to add more soil, water them, make sure they get enough sunlight and check for any bugs or plagues. They are growing and changing evry day.

Almost ready to mesure the plants, we are going to see how they are growing so we can use them in order to feed ourselves

STEP VII

Now that we have added the wheels to the garden, we can proceed with the next step. This step consists on planting the germinated plants in the actual mobile garden. Some of them are not quite ready to be transplanted, however we will plant the ones that are sufficiently grown. Check out the pictures below!

One of our readers asked about the germination process. I can say the process we chose is pretty effective due to the good results that we achieved. This process consists on germinating the seeds on mini pots that are placed in a water tray (you can look at some pictures in our first post). The mini pots contain each a dehydrated peat moss tablet, that is hydrated at the moment of the planting. More details on what we did HERE.

THAT'S QUITE A GARDEN!

These plants are not ready for the mobile garden...yet. PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE!!

FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN MAKING SOME MONEY

I found a very interesting article in the Forbes web page about the potential that rooftop gardens have in the market. It is impressive how such a simple thing can even generate profit. Forbes Article.
This process has been very interesting through all the process and we've been having fun learning and experimenting with this project. I hope you can either make your own mobile garden or enjoy with us this experience through our blog.

EXPERIENCES DURING THE PROJECT

At first I was worried about this project. I thought that it was going to be very difficult because i didn´t know anything about this topic. Now that I know a lot and that we´re finally doing the plantation in the mobile garden, I´m very happy because I think this is a wonderfull way to contribute to the welfare of the planet, that everyone should do and it´s a lot easier than it seems.

Here are some pictures that we took today of the plants. In a few days we will plant them in the mobile garden. You can check the mobile garden progress in the tab above. These plants are very special because they are organically grown, this means that there are no chemicals involved in the process and we are using some of the best soil and water to keep them healthy until they are ready to be harvested. Please share your comments with us! We can also answer any questions you may have :)
