Hello,
Im sure some of you have heard about bio-buckets by now? Basically it is RDWC with Lava Rock as a growing medium, as the Lava Rock provides space for the beneficial micro organisms to grow. Now i can`t find big enough net pots to use (They suggest 8 inch, we only get 2 inch).
Im toying with this idea, but i have no clue if i can do it this way:
What if you create a seperate "Bio-Bucket" with all the necessary things inside (Eg. Lava Rock) and you simply pass the water through it before going to the plants and then use NO growing medium (DWC) for the plants.. Is this possible? Do the roots need to be in contact with the lava rock for it to work?
Thanx
