Grow 240 plants in only 4 sq ft Using DIY Hydroponics
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Keep on Growin’ with Mike VanDuzee”.
Welcome to Easy DIY Hydroponics with MrDuzee1. In today's episode I show you how I mix my hydroponic nutrients. After that we show you how to grow 200 to 300 plants in 4 sq ft of floor space. Plus the return of the evil plastic, lol. We will give you updates on he non PVC hydroponic containers next week, the plants need time to grow. Peace and Love!!
I love all your videos I swear you should be president or some paper of Senator you are all around good person and thanks for all that you do
Thanks so much!! I may run in 2020, lol. 😉 I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks Sandy, I am humbled by these kind remarks.

I live in Denver, CO. I’ve been trying Mike’s methods (microgreens, hydroponic greens). I’ve tried kale, bok choi, a variety of lettuces and basil. I’m growing in solo cups in my east facing kitchen window. I can put 7 cups into 1 plastic shoe box. I’m using 1/2 strength Miracle Grow tomato plant food (1/2 Tb MG to 1 gal h20). Using Denver tap water. Plants are growing great. Been using clear plastic 16oz. cups from Walmart. Making cover for cups from newspaper. Had problems with algae, but I like to see how the roots are growing or if plants need more water/nutes.
I do make my own nutrients, for soil, from used coffee grounds or ammonia (nitrogen), crushed chicken bones and seaweed (phosphorus), dried banana peels (potassium), crushed egg shells (calcium), epsom salts (magnesium, sulphur). I make 2 fertilizers: 1 for growth that has more nitrogen and 1 for flowering/fruiting that has less nitrogen and more phosphorus and potassium.
Wow! Thanks for sharing man. If I make it over to Denver, I am going to visit you, lol. I have a few friends out that way. Keep up the good work.
Another great video mike, keep them coming… You are truly a blessing 🙏
Thank you. Trying my best. You guys are what make this channel great!
Yes you are causing a positive change in the world. I am teaching my children to grow their food even though we are in a city setting ….for now. 🌸
Awesome Denise! That is so great to hear!
I’m just getting into hydroponics and sustainability in general. Your videos are the most informative/approachable that I’ve come across and an absolute treasure of a resource. Thank you so much for all that you’re doing!
Thanks so much Saundra, that made my day! 😎🌱🌱
Great videos. I am new to gardening and I find your videos to be very helpful.
Just found you today. I love that you’re approaching hydroponics with ingenuity. Love the info, creativity, fun spirit and intention. I live in a small condo but I have a big deck so I can’t wait to try this out. Subbed. Look forward to watching your channel grow!
Thanks much! That sounds perfect. I moved a little over a year ago and had a huge deck, kinda miss that. Nice to have you here!
Mike, Thank you so much for your videos! You have given me the knowledge base and confidence to try this for my family this year. God bless, you!
Awesome! I so appreciate that! Have fun and happy gardening Chris.
I just discovered your channel and absolutely love your videos and keeping things cheap. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Thanks much Jeremy, great to have you along for the ride.
These are great videos!thank you so much! You are giving me encouragement to get back into the gardening! Love be the change! My motto too.
Cool, glad you enjoy it!! Great motto to live by.
Love your comments, love that you put it out there for the people, to make the world a better place, saving water and healthy local food, both will needed in the comming world, giving power to the people, has got to be a good start.
Yes, thank you so much for that. Always trying to do my part. Have a great weekend. Much love 😎🤘🌱🌱
Thank you!! I’m so excited! I raided my city’s recycling bins yesterday for a ton of containers, bought the pool noodles and nutrients and I’m teaching my family to grow food. I’ve used dirt for years but have never been so excited about growing. I can’t wait to have my own year round greens. So much thanks.
That’s so awesome Anna! That just made my day!! Happy gardening, keep me updated😎🖒🌱🌱🌱
Thanks Mike I love it!! I’m new to hydroponics I want to learn all I can!! I have watched lots of video’s and just happened upon you and I’m in love with how easy you are making it!! I have a sun porch we are going to convert into hydroponic gardening for our entire family… Keep growing and posting….
Your content is such a gem.
My new favorite channel and not just for gardening but favorite of all.
The way you present your videos in such a humorous and lively way it’s relaxing to watch in itself.
It was so timely to find you for me as I’m making the switch to a hydroponic wall garden and your channel just popped up, I wasn’t even looking. That’s how it works! Much love keep doing what you’re doing it’s perfection <3
Make the world a better place – wonderful Mr. VanDuzee. And people like you are the ones that we have to follow to achieve that objective. I have just got the small seed about developing a hydroponic garden planted in my mind today (the corona virus induced lockdown is indeed doing wonders in our lives !) and I am hoping it will germinate and yield fruit .. Thanks a million !!
Thank you so much!!! 😎🖒🌱
Hey Mike! Thanks again for this solution! I tried planting tomatoes and cucumbers and Swiss Chard in a 3 downspout setup. In the Cali summer, you have to water every 2 days! I guess not a good solution for Cucumbers and tomatoes except for going from sprout to small plant. I transplanted all into Dutch Buckets except for Swiss Chard which are doing great!
Awesome Joe, glad it worked out!! 😎🤘🌱🌱🌱
Thank you, Mike. I believe the best way to honor and thank someone is implementation. I will get back to you on that. Meanwhile, Mike, you make it appear easy, fun and inviting to do. I look forward to my success sharing in the future.
Thank you! I would love to see it!
This is great! I planted a lot of large vegetables on my balcony, & while I did get a lot of green, I did not produce much of the actual vegetables. I think I’ll try micro greens next season. I really like that you can get so much quantity with little space, a lot less effort, & of course cheaper.
I just came across this by accident! 😂I love gardening, but my life has changed drastically in the last year…so am not going to have time for what I’ve done in the past. Thank you and your family for all your time and effort to educate others.
God bless you
Thank you Victoria! Happy gardening!
Great videos! I like the advice of the micro greens also. I am putting to use the buckets in micro greens this year! Like this month, lol. Thank you for all your help, and thank your family too. I know it’s a lot of work to teach us how to grow food for cheap and it’s dearly appreciated.
