RE: Hydroponic Setup

in #gardening8 years ago (edited)

very nice.
what are you using for your drainage ? and do you fill the entire case with water ?
do you already have any results with this setup ?
by the way
you seem to know how to water tomatoes maybe you can answer the question in the comments of my latest post about tomatoes a few minutes ago.
and maybe you want to add some potatoes as well ;)

Sort:  

Do you mean like an ebb and flow system with a water pump? This one is just filled all the way with water, and then has an air pump with air stones in the base providing air to the roots. Watering isn't really an issue as the roots are submerged in water all the time. I haven't had this set up long enough to get any plants past the ones in the picture, but I have done some hydroponics before, and I know several people that also have done it.

Sooner or later I would like to try one of the other types of hydroponics. This is all the room I have for it right now though.

I looked at your tomtato post. That looks pretty cool, I kind of want to try it now when summer rolls around. As for the question brought up about the watering level difference of potato and tomato plants, I don't know. They do have a care sheet on the site that sells the plants though:
