you could fill the bottle with water and freeze it solid. then, drill your hole – allow the water to melt out. there is a link to a video showing this. was on the front page here, i guess the spammers knocked it off the front page.

tilapia have been grown with great success by others using aquaponics. they do grow to an awesome size as a food fish for human consumption – not pets.

try vermiculture , compost tea, natural nutrients are always available somewhere.
In reply to - tedi posted an update in the group For Beginners: Roots not expanded. We have tried adding different plants but once in the WindowFarms bottles, the roots are never expanded and keep condensed in a very short space as they were when being growing up. Are we doing something wrong? · View -

found an awesome resource here – apparently someone has already thought about this on a world wide source resource for worm suppliers. Google it, it is probably out there.

the biggest thing i found is this, in Edmonton there are three hydroponics stores. now with this information i came to the conclusion that whatever they charge is the going price. online ? perhaps, but would be better if there were more local resources. hydroponics isn’t that big a thing yet. operative word being YET.
