Re: The thread for people who have Green Thumbs (Gardening)

What an interesting thread. I must be growing more mature to call a thread on gardening interesting, but it really is. I hate actual gardening, I just like harvesting what dad's planted, haha. But I am inspired to have a herb tray, I think I could manage that, rather then having to put boots on and watch for spiders every time I go outside to grab some fresh parsley, rocket or mint.
Lately we've been planting aloe vera and aloe arborescens. Their leaves are so medicinal it's like having a cure-all in the backyard. (We follow a traditional Brazilian recipe that calls for 300grams of arborescens leaves, some 500g of pure honey and about 40ml of whiskey as a distillate. It is clearing up my sister's acne, among other more serious health concerns in my family!).
I am wondering if anyone here has any experience or tips on how to grow vegetables hydroponically. It seems ideal for a number of reasons, but I especially like the space saving idea. Any tips on how to get started?
