I Grew Food in Sand in 10 Days
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Keep on Growin’ with Mike VanDuzee”.
Using our self watering adapters, we tested sand as a growing medium. Basically off grid hydroponics, very little care and easy to do.
Self watering adapters available here:

Wow that’s amazing. Thanks
How does the plant get its nutrition with sand?
He put nutrients in the water ..He has a video on it
Microgreens don’t need nutrients… if you want to do baby greens or full grown plants etc…. then you need to add hydroponic nutrients at the microgreen level of growth
this looks great. i wonder how an bunt cake pan instead of foil would help out in this process especially if you already have one.
Nice! That’s a great idea!
Great video. I also grow in clay pebbles and find it is a pain to clean. The sand looks easier and quick to clean.
Maybe use the kids’ beach sand sifter to run the sand through? I’d guess the roots will stay behind and the sand will go through. GREAT video once again, thank you!
That’s a good idea!
Make sure no pets have been scratching, pooping, in there. They find those sand pits esp cats. Also beach sand might be salty but have cool nutrients too depending.
What kind of seeds you used ??
pak choi
I will do this thanks. Also- did you know filtering water through seven layers of sari fabric filters deadly diseases from that water. Crazy. So perhaps material sieve except not 7 layers?
I have a new reverse osmosis machine, would that do the same?
I love this idea. I use the trays with silicone liner to do my microgreens. Love this is another great alternative.
Hi, im in florida too. Can’t we just use the sand that’s in our yard? It’s all sand lol
lol, you can try.
@@KeepOnGrowin lol
@@loisyoung4662 As long as the sodium content isn’t high enough that it disrupts the growth of plants, it’s worth a try.
Thank you Mike.
Looks good mike
I hate gritty food. Gives me the shivers just thinking about it! Interested to hear if the plants hang onto sand as they grow.
Beautiful
How can one order the clay pebbles and your adapter?
links are in the description
Hey Mike, do you know if hydroponic plants will grow in black tea? In an effort to cut algae??
I don’t know but that is interesting, I could try.
