Autumn Indoor Nature in New Jersey.

The two AeroGarden Farm 24″ systems arrived a day late. The UPS driver claimed I wasn’t home to sign for the package even though I hadn’t left the house all day. The security cameras also didn’t show anyone arriving at the time they supposedly tried to deliver the package. These two would become the base for a stacked set using the two 36″ systems I assembled on Tuesday. Some assembly required. This time, both packages contained all of the parts. I used the Garmin VIRB-360 camera to record the assembly process for a Time-Lapse video.

Daily Electric Energy Used (47.0 kWh) from Sense and Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (5.3 kWh) from SolSystems and Locus Energy. It rained all day, and the temperatures dropped nearly 40 degrees since yesterday. The Geothermal HVAC system wasn’t needed. The new hydroponic gardens used 8.9 kWh. Overall a net deficit of 41.7 kWh.
