I've been growing with rocks in five gallon buckets for almost twenty years. A couple of years ago, I switched from DWC to ebb-n-gro. I can't be happier with the results. Three foot tall White Russians that yield six ounces are a staple in my garden. I recently screwed up my shoulder lugging rocks to the garbage bin. This injury is making me think about switching to a less labor intensive hydro set-up. Two questions. Thanks in advance for the replies.
1) Would you say going coco is overall less labor intensive and requires you to not lug so much heavy stuff around?
2) If I do drain-to-waste, I want to avoid using big trays. I was thinking about just filling my my monster ebb-n-gro buckets with coco and use a shop-vac to periodically suck the waste out of the bottom buckets. Thoughts?
