Winter is coming, and my beloved mint hasn't grown enough to survive it. So before starting to say goodbye, I've decided to try a different approach - Hydroponic growing!

My mint pot :)

I started with cutting one branch of mint and root it in a separate pot. After a few days two small roots came out and now I'm ready for the next step.

I cleaned up a jar of honey and made some holes in a plastic cup, and then inserted the rooted mint branch.

The next part is a tricky one... Adding only tap water to the jar is not enough for the mint to grow, it needs nutritions. So I immediately asked Google what to do, and the solution was pretty easy - A ratio of 20 to 1 of urine will get the job done! Yeah, you read correctly.. I peed into a jar 🙄

Now for the lighting - I hope a 3W desk LED lamp will do the job, no other bright ideas here.. (get it? bright? 🤣).

So the hydroponic system is ready and now let's hope I could drink some tea in the winter 🍵

I'll let it stand for a few days and post an update soon.

Bye for now 👋
