Inquired About IV Fluid Delivery Equipment For Growing Plants
[ Thursday March 24th 2022 at 11:23 am ]

Before playing games last night I watched an amazing video. It showed someone setting up a style of wall garden that I believe is a possible match for the needs of my physical disability. What is interesting is the person used intravenous equipment to water the cucumber plants slowly over several hours. This strategy will keep the soil moist and prevent the plant from withering from the heat of the day. From my perspective this looks like a strategy I could use. With the use of intravenous equipment the actual watering would not involve the painful bending or reaching I experience. I've just reached out to a medical supply business to see if I could purchase the intravenous tubing and device that controls how fast fluids are dispensed. I am thinking to setup maybe 2 plants this summer to "test drive" this style of wall gardening. If it works then I expand next year to grow some of my own vegetables. I am always so glad when I've been able to get outside. As an adult I really need an activity to be engaged in. Certainly gardening is a possibility. This isn't to mention that I'd enjoy this. I get a lot of satisfaction in using my hands. The creative process helps me co-exist with my physical disability and chronic pain.
