Like everyone, on Prime Day I was finding things I never knew I needed. This was when I stumbled across the AG. I was utterly fascinated by it and immediately wanted one, but then it dawned on me... what if I don't need to buy the appliance and can instead grow directly in my aquarium?
I looked at the dimensions of an AG unit and began construction.
I decided to make the platform out of "purple foam" (aka pink foam, aka insulation foam) which I have used for tons of other floating tank projects. I cut the foam to approx 11" wide x 12" long, if I recall correctly. If this works, the size can be modified.
Saturday, 7-16-22, I officially put the pods into the platform and inserted the platform into the tank.
Being that I have no idea what will work best, I decided to try:
3 assorted lettuce from one lettuce kit
1 jalapeño from Salsa Kit
1 tamoto from Salsa Kit.
7-18-22: Woo hoo! I have a sprout! It's one of the lettuce.
Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out. If anyone has tried this method and has any suggestions or advice, please let me know!
