Anyone have success with the hydroponic systems?

Not in The Villages, but elsewhere. Many of our friends and relatives who have arthritis , knee issues and so forth.....just LOVE their hydroponic systems. Their bounty is plentiful with minimal work.

Everyone we know gets so much joy out of growing their own produce without harmful sprays, toxins, etc.

As another mentioned, check to see which season is the best in Florida. Up here, we don't plant until after Memorial Day, unless it's a cold weather crop.

My husband's uncle in Brooksville Florida had a huge garden in his backyard, something he continued from his days in Parsippany, New Jersey.......they had a bountiful end result which his wife would blanch and freeze (that which they could not use immediately). Each meal time, she served two healthy veggies; they both lived to a ripe old age, in their 90's

Not sure, but I would think that depending on your location, you "might" (not sure now) be able to use the hydroponic system on your lanai or birdcage/screened room.........

It would solve the problem of poor soil in Florida. Yes, you could go to a farmer's market, but truthfully, there is nothing quite like stepping outside and plucking your own ripe tomato as needed. We all tend to overbuy at those farmer's markets and then it goes to waste before being used.

Best wishes for a bountiful harvest. Personally I do not see a problem as to upsetting people. Gardens don't make noise after all.
