Summer project small hydro window garden

Well here’s my latest hydro project working out quit well I’d say considering I haven’t ph balanced the solution and the tap waters here’s not great. Yup bubblers rock. I made this bubbler out of the smallest tote I could find at Freddy’s and cut out a hole and put in one of the cheap disposable Tupperware like containers you find at the grocery store. I drilled it full of as many holes as I thought I could get away with. I got the floral foam I’m using at Joe Ann’s fabric believe it are not they have this green stuff for flower arranging that works perfect. cheaper than at the hydro store. I used a stainless steel rod I busted out of an old printer to hold the air hose to the bottom of the container. Just a few zip ties to hold the hose on and it works better than anything else I have tried to keep that air hose on the bottom. Hydroponic fertilizer is a must in these systems . Urea nitrogen is almost useless in these bubblers they don’t have the soil microbes to break down urea nitrogen . Use only hydro fertilizer. I give you a link to the ebay ferts I use. But the company is not listing anymore sorry, this stuff works great and was very cheap. Your on you own as far as the hydro ferts go. Golf coarse fertilizer is always an option I here. heres the pic at a little over two months.
