Right around the time a barrel of oil was around $150 USD I stumbled upon an article from an "expert" saying that the solution to resolve hunger was to give more money to poor countries in order to buy more tractors and more agrochemicals! So wrong! Then a thought popped into mind: " Do something! No matter what! Anything is better than nothing! ". Mission: increasing awareness of hydroponics and aquaponics as key tools in fighting hunger around the world.

Hello everyone! How I got into hydroponics is a long story...let's just say that it involves a lot of tedious farm work as a child, unsuccessful 'dirt' gardens of my own and a near electrocution from a semi-submersible hydroponic pump. I've learned that hydroponic gardening is the only way to garden for me and I've been working at it for several years now. I've built ebb/flow, nft, Mittleider, wick and passive systems and I'm always on the lookout for the easiest and most efficient means of hydroponic gardening...If you have questions, I would be more than happy to answer them...
Explains how to build a home hydroponics system, covering hardware supplies, media, nutrients, and tips for success.
Country: Australia Review: The system used here is not new but because it's using sand as the substrate, I thought it deserves it's own category. Very few hydroponics systems uses sand. Many pictures, lot of information and plans also. Jim Rice knows what he is talking about. Also excellent introduction to hydroponics in general. Tips and hints! Right on Jim! Rated 5.
