I got my copy of The Growing Edge Vol. 20 No. 2 November/December 2008 just yesterday and it has a nice article by me in it about getting started in hydroponics. Simple systems allow a person to get started in hydroponics pretty easily. It doesn't get any easier than a wick system or a float system. Pick up an issue and take a look. There are even a couple of pages from my notebooks.

Ray,
I like your articles and appreciate you coming back to Growing Edge as a writer. I think Growing Edge readers relate to your hydroponic experiences as something they could actually do themselves. I look forward to future articles.

Some nice stuff here in your blog. This is the first time I've run across it. Keep up the good work!

I may have to learn about hydroponics and give it a try. We could plant some stuff in our pool area which wouldn't keep out the bunnies but would be deer proof (I think).
Hey there! I found your blog via this edition of the Growing Edge. You have inspired me to try the wick system, although I am kinda perplexed about it. Without an air pump, won't the water become stagnant? When the roots eventually grow down into the water, won't they drown? Everything I have read is the opposite of this, so hopefully you can understand my "Noobieness" to it. LOL I'm still a noob in hydro-gardening, but much like yourself, I want to try every system & evaluate it's performance for myself. My only limitation is that I live in small apartment with not much space leftover for containers of plants & water. So hopefully come spring I will be able to try some ideas outside. Speaking of outside...have you ever had any critter invasion problems? Problems with wildlife trying to get into the water supply for a drink? I live next to a woods & this was an issue last year when we attempted to build a patio pond with a half whiskey barrel. All the coons in the hood made it their own private swimming pool, so we had to scrap that idea. So naturally I am concerned about trying hydro-gardening outdoors. Any thoughts on that?
