Those of you that have experience know that it is dirty and has to be rinsed before use. Yes, it takes time. We all want to save time, but as we found out, some time is just well spent. STG has some great products and we love their hail product for our AeroFlo36 system. For the PowerGrower and Ebb and Gro systems, Hydroton rocks! (no pun intended).
The test we conducted on the STG inserts for the Ebb and Gro system proved that Hydroton (the suggested medium for the system) was the better medium. Plants in the STG inserts didn't grow as fast or as strongly as the ones in the Hydroton.
We will be using Hydroton in the Ebb and Gro and PowerGrower for all future transplants.
Practicing Hydroponics illustrates and documents the implementation of theory and products available to hydroponic gardeners through a "live" personal grow room. My approach to vegetable gardening in this environment came from research conducted on the internet; through reading books; and the knowledge gained though visits to local stores specializing in hydroponics. I happily share my mistakes and success in order to provide you with how I put theory into Practicing Hydroponics!
