Do any of you know the basics of hydroponics? I am interested in a simple low cost method. I did not get to do any gardening last year as I was on bedrest until July and then had to recover and I am looking for something new and fun to re-spark my interest in gardening.

Hi my name is steve been doing hydroponics for a few yrs. Couple of questions is it going to be used indoor/outdoor, are u handy with power tools. You can make a unit for abt 40-80 dollars. But that also depends on how many plants u want. Your main expense is going to be the water pump. If u r doing a true hydro unit the pump must be able to handle the nutrients because they r hard on metal parts. If u do like Patti setup with the fish then u won't have a problem with the pump. U have a choice of many units aeroponic, nft, raft, deepwater, ebb & flow and a few others, Myself i use aeroponic, ebb & flow, and drip. Good luck Steve:cool:
