My first Kratky jar. I'm delighted with the jar cover with screw lid I found online. The top actually screws onto the jar and I can simply lift jar and all to check what's going on inside.
Separately, I ordered the black jar mouth cover that has a cut-out that perfectly fits a AeroGarden grow pod. This makes it super easy to transfer plants from my garden to the jar. I tried fitting the lid under the screw cover cap, but it doesn't work that way. The black lid fits on top of the cover. That's good in a way too because if I want to add water, check roots, etc , I just lift the black lid.
Separately, I ordered the replacement AeroGarden grow pods and covers and they fit perfectly as well.
All of these items were 3-d printed by different people, but they all fit well. I'm looking forward the the Kratky hobby and have 3 identical jars to plant.

In the photo, I transferred basil from my AeroGarden into the jar today. I put the nutrient level just at the bottom of the AeroPod sponge.
I hope that's right. Enough roots exposed to air, I think. I wondered if I should put a wick at the bottom of the pod like the Ball herb kits have, but decided to not do that and see what happens.
