Howdy notanovice and Student,

I really like this kind of set-up,because it seems to be good for a feller with not much space-and because it doesn't require heavy lifting. The way I've been growing,is to git 4-5 gallon pots ,filled with potting soil-which takes up alot of space,and since I like to carry the plants to the bathtub where I can water them good enough for the water to flow through,flushing out accumulated salts and to give em a thorough drenching-cuz I like for them to be virtually dry-before watering them. Obviously,once they've been thoroughly watered,they're pretty daggum heavy,for a feller with a bad back. BTW,when I say 'water'-I don't mean tap water from the shower head..I mean with my fert solution..lol. Don't freak out..lol.

It's also a plus,that most of the components,can be bought at WallyWorld(Wal-Mart)..for the rest..I can go to the big city or order on-line..I reckon.

I haven't grown hydro before-but I'd be willing to learn..as long as I can do it with organic ferts or at least some kind of fert that doesn't give it a chemical taste. Is that possible ?

Have a good one...Torog
