All plants are welcome, the community does not judge species. For us plants are just plants, we want to become "a melting pot of photosynthesis enthusiasts", as per the bucket manifesto. There are many cannabis growers but that is because it is a very popular plant around the world (and very expensive too).
I've grown a lot of different plants in my buckets, including thyme, dill, basil, hot peppers, cherry tomatoes, strawberry and chives :)
I've been thinking about doing something like this, since I'd have to fence my yard to have an ordinary garden if I don't want deer to eat all my plants.
Are there any concerns about levels of non-growth-limiting (or color-affecting) nutrients in container-grown veggies? Has anyone even looked into that?
It is expensive because of its legal situation. Cannabis is essentially weed and is very easy to grow, thus if not for the law, it is actually very cheap.
That is awesome, I'd like to see some pictures of your bucket and plants! I'm growing Hot Peppers at the moment, just had my first harvest. I've also grown a lot of cherry tomatoes, I'm a fan.
Like I said, it's really interesting to see all this stuff.
I'll be honest, the AJAX doesn't add anything for me. My ideal webpage has zero movement except scrolling. Things which I would suggest you changed, if you aksed me:
- loading images as you scroll. Let the browser do that. I'm probably going to look at all of them so I'd rather they load before I look rather than waiting for them.
- simulating a loading bar when my browser already has that
- breaking standard keyboard shortcuts (space and shift-space don't work)
- having headings that should be static move around on page load (that's a CSS thing)
Thanks for the honest feedback! I appreciate it a lot.
I'm commited to AJAX for the site, I think it can work great after many iterations and tunings. The site has over 50% of mobile traffic and tries to feel like a webapp on those devices. It has been very interesting to see that percentage grow.
Animations in CSS are pretty hard to get right, I see what you mean. I'm not a fan of the fade either. I didn't know about the shortcuts, I'll definitely look into that.
