use the big chunks like 1 inch. they allow best oxygen for roots plus since they are jagged they lock together and provide support for heavy plants. grodan rockwool is good if you use the bigger cubes but it limits you on the type of hydroponic setup you can use.

so fill the net baskets with the 1 inch lava rocks??? im going to be using a 6 in pvc with hole cut into it. so the net baskets wont be that big... or should i use bigger pipes to start. my cusin uses fence post for his. but he grows tinny midgets. im not looking to grow trees but i normaly have mine bonzied to be pretty busshy wide. i think you guys call it sorg or some thing like that. have you seen the sure to grow things??? bad idea???
