• Growing the Impossible: Hydroponic Crops the UK Can't Grow Outdoors

  Dr. Russell Sharp explores crops that struggle outdoors in the UK due to short, cool seasons and shows how hydroponics or protected cultivation can make them viable. He discusses sweet potato slips, cotton, jute, castor bean, rice trials, peanuts, melons, chillies and more, plus business opportunities for growers and the effects of climate change on crop potential. Listeners will learn which crops need grow rooms or greenhouses, which might be trialed outdoors, and ideas for commercial hydroponic production and supply to gardeners and farmers. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser/   Terka Acton Henry Agg Simon Akeroyd Souren Ala Adam Alexander Rosemary Alexander James Alexander-Sinclair Zena Alkayat Zia Allaway Sharon Amos Camilla Anderson Jill Anderson Tanya Anderson Stephen Anderton Natalie Anstey Matthew Appleby Russell Attwood Claire Austin Matthew Baber Chris Baines Craig Ball Andrea Ballard Richard Barnes Camilla Bassett-Smith Nina Baxter Joanne Beattie Lucy Bellamy Pip Bensley Pernilla Bergdahl Vanessa Berridge Matthew Biggs Andrea Blackie Judith Blacklock Bridget Blair Adrian Bloom Richard Bloom Marian Boswall Julia Boulton Val Bourne Daisy Bowie-Sell Helier Bowling Edward Bowring Steven Bradley Sue Bradley Mandy Bradshaw Christopher Brickell Frances Brown Tom Brown Ursula Buchan Jonathan Buckley Stefan Buczacki Diane Budd Adriano Bulla Lee Burkhill Deborah Burn Paula Bushell Steve Bustin Lucy Butler Ciar Byrne Lorraine Caley Alexandra Campbell Lucy Chamberlain Amy Chapman Karen Chapman Michelle Chapman Ruth Chivers Shereen Chung-Blake JP Clark Francesca Clarke Victoria Clarke Richard Claxton Philip Clayton George Clowes Nigel Colborn Tom Coleman Christopher Collins Matthew Collins Vicki Cooke Hilary Course Kenneth Cox Martyn Cox Ray Cox Simon Crawford Emma Crawforth Helen Cross Sarah Croud Ken Crowther Leanne Crozier Fiona Cumberpatch Sally Cunningham Julie Dansereau Kate Dardis Ruth Darrah Dave Darwent Holly Daulby Chris Day Jo Davey Claudia de Yong Wendy Desyllas Mark Diacono

• Cardoon: The High‑Value Hydroponic Crop Michelin Chefs Crave

  Dr Russell Sharp of Hydroponics Daily explores cardoon, a giant thistle related to globe artichoke, as a lucrative hydroponic crop ideal for small to medium grow rooms and a strong alternative to cannabis. He outlines the crop’s fast growth and large biomass, year‑round production potential under controlled conditions, easy propagation from rhizomes, and culinary demand from Lyonnaise and Michelin‑star kitchens. He also touches on pests to watch for and practical benefits of soilless cultivation. The episode includes practical cultivation notes and mentions Utrema’s fertilizers, biostimulants and biopesticides suited to cardoon production, plus a reminder to follow and review the podcast. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/fertiliser/liquid-gold-unique-complete-fertiliser/   Mère Brazier – Mathieu Viannay Takao Takano – Takao Takano Le Neuvième Art – Christophe Roure Ombellule – Tabata Mey & Ludovic Mey Les Terrasses de Lyon – John Léon L’Atelier des Augustins – Nicolas Guilloton Prairial – Gaëtan Gentil Au 14 Février (Vieux Lyon) – Tsuyoshi Arai Têtedoie – Christian Têtedoie Burgundy by Matthieu – Matthieu Girardon Miraflores – Carlos Camino Rustique – Maxime Laurenson Michael Straumietis – Advanced Nutrients Lawrence Brooke – General Hydroponics William Texier – Terra Aquatica Noucetta Kehdi – Terra Aquatica William Van De Zwaan – House & Garden Nutrients Remo Colasanti – Remo Nutrients Sandra Colasanti – Remo Nutrients Steven Betts – GreenPlanet Nutrients Justin Cooper – GreenPlanet Nutrients Jay Jackson – Advanced Hydroponics of Holland Treg Bradley – Botanicare Stuart Dvorin – Hydrofarm Bill Toler – Hydrofarm John Lindemann – Hydrofarm Giles Gunstone – Growth Technology Greg Jarvis – Bluelab Jono Jones – Bluelab Jason Ralph-Smith – AutoPot Watering Systems Daniel Wilson – Current Culture H2O Kip Andersen – SuperCloset Eric Lang – ZipGrow Nate Storey – Bright Agrotech Kevin Jakiela – Just Vertical Conner Tidd – Just Vertical Ryan Chappell – Alien Hydroponics Louis Belloin – Techponics Adam Dixon – Phytoponics Luke Parkin – Phytoponics David Schmidmayr – Plagron Nutrients Jetze De Raad – Biobizz Luis Pinheiro – Biobizz Robert Higgins – Emerald Harvest Sharon Higgins – Emerald Harvest David Pratt – Emerald Harvest Gareth Hopcroft – Ecothrive Noah Miller – Black Dog LED Dima Chernobylski – GrowDirector Taisiya Jacobson – Pure Greens James Fleet – Bloemteknik Ted Tanner – Growlink David Holmes – Growlink Idan Avitan – Growee Controls Willy Winer – FoxFarm Jair Velleman – Gavita Jonathan Edwards – BudBox Erik H. – Secret Jardin Mike Kuma – Mills Nutrients Steve Webb – Plant Magic John Molyneux – Nutriculture Mike Biggs – CX Horticulture Kevin Richardson – Organic Plant Magic Tony – Hydrotops Steve Palmer – Bio Diesel Nutrients Mandy Jarvis – Bluelab Christian Long – Current Culture H2O Cheryl Wilson – Current Culture H2O Callie Seaman – Shogun Fertilisers Matej – Shogun Fertilisers Mark Benson – Plant Magic John Smith – Hydroeden Fran – Fran’s Hydroponics Ian – Critical Mass Systems Colin – Critical Mass Systems John Ramsey – Biobizz

• HACK! Grow Your Own Predatory Mites: Slash Your Pest Control Costs

  Dr. Russell Sharp shares a practical hack to dramatically reduce pesticide and biocontrol costs by culturing predatory mites on bran or pollen. This method lets growers seed a small container with purchased predatory mites, grow their prey mites on a feedstock, and maintain a self-sustaining predatory population to protect crops. Key steps and precautions: buy untreated bran from an animal feed store, seed a small sealed container with purchased mites, keep warm with slight moisture, rotate harvests (use ~80% for release, keep ~20% to restart), and avoid storing bran near human food or large open volumes to prevent infestations. Works for leaf and soil predators and can be scaled from houseplants to large farms. https://eutrema.co.uk/shop/pesticides-organic/lime-sulphur/ Roland De Jonghe – Biobest Group Silvia Todorova – Anatis Bioprotection Claude Robert – Anatis Bioprotection Don Elliott – Applied Bio-nomics Brian Spencer – Applied Bio-nomics José Vanzeler de Melo – Agronologica Patrick Charlot – Bioline AgroSciences David Ben-Zvi – BioBee Sde Eliyahu Moshe Sagiv – BioBee Sde Eliyahu Arnold Yasin – BioBee Sde Eliyahu Octávio Peres Neto – Biotrop Fábio Passos – Biotrop Fernando Reis – Biotrop Keith Jones – Certis Biologicals Robert G.
