From seedlings to green monster in just a few weeksAnthony Karcz I have the blackest of thumbs. Anything I plant has a limited lifespan. Basically, however long it takes to use up whatever fertilizer that came with the soil it was germinated in. And don’t get me started on fruits and vegetables. I may, in a pique of manic interest, dig a half-assed plot and scatter some seeds but if they can’t make it on their own, those nascent plants have no chance of survival. I tell you this because I’m not the person who should be reviewing a hydroponic…

Fertilizers are available as liquid, granule, or slow-release formulas—each type has advantages and disadvantages. “Indoor plants use nutrients from…

I vividly remember the first time I traveled. I was 10 years old when my mother sent my brother and I to Mombasa, Kenya. She’s Kenyan and wanted us to experience our culture and meet family. She couldn’t travel with us because of work, so my brother and I traveled from Milwaukee as unaccompanied minors. I was just old enough to be amazed by the experience of flying, walking through airports and landing in a country where English wasn’t the primary language.Decades later, in 2013, I had my first big work trip as an adult. I’m a consultant who owns a…
