Did you know LECA stands for “Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate?”

It is a hard tiny 1/2″ pearl that your plants can grow in.

Never used LECA?

Here are 5 facts about LECA to get you started:

You can use LECA as a propagation medium AND even a permanent growth medium for adult plants

LECA is ideal for smaller apartment type spaces when it is more difficult to haul bags and shovels of dirt around. 

LECA delivers oxygen to roots while growing in water/fertilizer making root structure stronger

LECA is NOT pest friendly like soil making those pesky gnats way easier to keep on the down low!

Have questions about getting started with LECA? Reach out below - it is a really beautiful way to display and grow your plants in a visually clean and tidy environment

Can anyone help identify this vegetable? A neighbor gave this to me, and I planted it thinking it to be Brussel sprouts. Now I’m not so sure. I ripped off a leaf and munched on it- it was tougher than kale, and didn’t taste like Brussel sprout to me! #whatisthisplant #whatisthisvegetable #gardeningquestions #vegetablegarden #vegetablegardening #wannabegreenthumb #mysteryvegetable #mysteryplant #helpadudeout #baltimore #baltimoregardener #gardening #growingfood #eatwhatyougrow #growwhatyoueat #newbiegardener (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBlNO-tHpXx/?igshid=khsvoaiau70q

More gardening/fermenting stuff. Some chard that’s coming in great, some peas that I’m psyched about, and a salad I made with the chard and some cauliflower I fermented with a miso dressing. #homegrown #homegrownveggies #misosaladdressing #fermentedfoods #fermentedcauliflower #peas #peasinpod #freshpeas #gardening #vegetablegarden #baltimore #thebmorecreatives #baltimoregardens #suburbanfarming #urbanfarming #wannabegreenthumb #newbiegardener #eatwhatyougrow #growingvegetables #growingveggies #growingvegetablesathome #green (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBRtgvDHaT_/?igshid=1qzbdi1yj18qu

Current gardening. I’m doing cauliflower, hot peppers, tomatoes, 2 different types of peas, kale, purple kale, radishes, tatsoi greens, mustard greens, cucumbers, squash. I’m hoping these caterpillars don’t eat it all up. #gardening #vegetables #growingvegetables #growingvegetablesathome #diy #wannabegreenthumb #ificandoitsocanyou #baltimore #growingfood #catepillars #usingcompost #thebmorecreatives #garden #kale #squash #tomatoes #cucumbers #mustardgreens #peas #sugarpeas (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3b-WUHyo2/?igshid=7iao5sig3hnd

Home compost aka “black gold”. This is what you get when you obsessively compost all coffee grounds and veggies. The weather has been crap in Maryland (not really sunny, kinda low temperatures etc)but I’m hoping for my veggies to really pop when it warms up a little bit. #compost #homemadecompost #composting #homegarden #growingvegetables #baltimoregarden #newbiegardener #wannabegreenthumb #baltimore #thebmorecreatives #reusereducerecycle #rock #rockon #rocknroll #rockincompost (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAlPj7YnVj8/?igshid=1n684j2bk62h0
