Any solutions to avoid repeat performance, please ?

I found the best way to grow vegetables is hydroponics, and the best intro
to hydroponics is Sutherlands' "Hydroponic for Everyone".
http://www.greenweb.com.au/hyland/ht..._everyone.html

Even if you never plan to use hydroponics, it teaches you about what plants
need to grow. eg plants need water/nutrients but how can you ensure they
get the right amounts?

I just use non-recycling systems (ie no pumps) and use Miracle Gro as a
hydroponic solution. I have a self-watering box planter with snow peas
growing up stair railings. In the spare room (facing north) I'm growing
capsicums, coriander, and flower seedling ready for spring.
