I get asked a lot of questions in regard to hydroponics and how I do things. So I thought I'd get some help in doing a Q & A session going over the most frequently asked questions. Susan (imstillworkin) is my co-host in what turned out to be a very fun video. She asks the most common questions, and a couple that were not so common.
Topics covered were:
1.Where do you get the square buckets from? And can you use round ones?
2.What is the part number for the grommet that goes in the bottom of the bucket? 3MPL8

3.Where do you buy the perlite? What alternatives can be used?
4.Gardens benefit when good bacteria is added to soil through compost. Do you add anything like that with hydroponics? If so, what do you use? If not, how's everything working without it?
5.Where do you buy your hydroponic supplies like Rockwool and net pots?
6.What size rockwool cubes and net pots do you use?
7.Can you use the Dutch buckets outside?
8.How is it possible to grow plants in a hydroponic setup without using an air pump?
9.What variety of lettuce do you grow? Where do you buy the seed? Can you use any type of lettuce seed?
10.Which hydroponic setup would you recommend for a beginner? And do you take requests for one-on-one teaching sessions?
