E10: Hydroponics – The Kratky Method

31 May E10: Hydroponics – The Kratky Method

Mike from Grow Happy Gardening joins our podcast to talk about the Kratky Method. Here are the 6 things that you will need to try this method:

1. container/reservoir (you can use any container from a 5 gallon bucket to a 32 ounce mason jar)
2. plastic cup with holes that will hold the plant and allow the roots to dip into the water (Mike uses 3” inch net cups with a wide-mouth mason jar.)
3. seedling
4. inert substrate to anchor the plant in the cup (clay pebbles, gravel or perlite)
5. water
6. nutrients (Mike uses Blue Planet Nutrients)
