This year, the MVironment Club wanted to focus on how to reduce energy use and waste.

We held an elementary school workshop and a middle school workshop to build hydroponic systems. At four local elementary schools, the group held a one-hour session after school to build small passive hydroponic systems and energy-efficient LED grow lamps that the group had designed and tested Read More / Leia mais

Hydroponics from Recycled Materials: Casey’s Senior Project
On Saturday March 5th Casey McAndrews presented her hydroponics design work as part of a Home Hydroponics Workshop offered at Thimble Farm. Casey has been working both with the MVironment Club and on a senior project focused on home hydroponic design. As part of both interests, she worked to create a small hydroponics system made in part from recycled materials. She and the club have had significant help from our horticulture teacher John Wojtkielo and from Keith Wilda at Thimble Farm. For the workshop, Casey presented a design she had built, including a spec sheet with pricing and directions. This design is one that will be used as a model for a workshop offered by her and Read More / Leia mais
