Question

How do I start seeds for use in this system?

Community Answer

Most growers recommend starting seeds in a hydroponic medium such as rockwool. When the seedlings are large enough, they can be transferred to the net pots.

Question

How do I build a hydroponic garden if I am supposed to avoid open standing water because of mosquitoes?

Community Answer

Hydroponic plants should be grown indoors. Move them inside and buy a grow light, and you will get your best results with the plants you're growing. You won't have to worry about mosquitoes.

Question

Can I grow tomatoes or weed in a hydroponic garden?

Community Answer

Yes to both. I wouldn't recommend starting with tomatoes, though. Plants that size are difficult for inexperienced growers. Weed, however, should be fairly easy, even for a novice.

Would hydroponic gardens work for growing grass?

Community Answer

Technically yes, grass is easy to grow in most places. Although, try to find bigger netted pots instead of the smaller/medium ones.
