I am still doing research to gather my supplies. I am finding it to be much more expensive than $30 to purchase the hydroponics supplies necessary to get started! It seems like the starter cubs, for instance, are only available in really large quantities that cost about $25 per bag. Can anyone suggest a source for small quantities or a more inexpensive route toward a window farm?

i just learned about this project in Bust and am so excited to try it out. i wonder about running the electric pump around the clock, though it sounded like, from another post, this is a necessary step for the hydroponic plants.

i had another question about the nutrient solution. is this like compost tea? is it something i can make at home or will i have to continually reorder the nutrient stuff as i maintain my “farm”?
