Our methods differ somewhat from what you outline here. Our media is pretty much anything non-organic. Pea gravel and expanded clay pellets have worked well. Sterilization of the media does not seem to be necessary. We reuse it quite successfully. The nutrient we use is a low nitrogen mix as close to 4-18-38 (masterblend) as we can get if we mix it ourselves. Otherwise we siimply use the 4-18-18 Masterblend water soluble fertilizer. <br /><br />We have successfully grown and harvested tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, eggplant, Swiss chard and several kinds of lettuce. The growth rate on the Kratky-method plants is astounding. The plants do not get very tall but get very bushy and produce amazingly well. <br /><br />This type of hydroponics is so easy and produces such great results, we hope that many people enjoy using it. Thank you for spreading the word. Queen D Ranch Gardeninghttp://queendranchgardening.comnoreply@blogger.com
