Hello,
I'm still shopping for an inexpensive Aerogarden. While I was browsing here I came across the Kratky method, which I think I'll try until I can find the right AG. For now I just want to keep one basil plant alive.
I also found this "Other" forum and then I found what looks like a really cool DIY set-up --actually several of them-- available for sale about 75 miles from me, for $40.00. They look really complicated to me but my sister is a pretty good gardener and I thought it might be nice to buy them for her and maybe keep one of the smaller ones for myself.
But I have a few of questions:
1) Are the two that come with pumps complete? (See Flickr pic attached)
2) Any idea how food safe the buckets are? and
3) How does the water actually reach the plants in the PVC pockets?
4) What kind of a grow light would I need to keep something like that alive indoors during the fall and winter?
5) Does anyone have any thoughts on how to make it look a little more attractive for indoor use?
