brian's post got me motivated to post some updates.... my office started a project to move our datacenter last summer, worked most weekends, so my system got little attention, besideds feeding the fish, occasionally harvesting some chard, lettuce etc..
the job finally started slowing down (only working a couple weekends a month now).. i had to clean out the overgrown growbeds, add a bunch of gravel due to settling - the top layer of the growbed was damp, causing algae, and bugs, mostly fungus gnats.. so i got all that done, and replanted 3 beds - 1 to go, but i still need to set up my lighting on that one..
ok.. the pics, growbeds before cleanup;
