Changing out my hydroponics to be plastic free starts with the microgreens. Growing indoors under grow lights while it is cold outside allows me to test containers and nutrients before Spring gets here.

Where do you get your seeds?
Mostly True Leaf, some on Amazon for free shipping.
Cool video. I also clean my pebbles the same way.
Thanks Rocky!
Great idea. Since I had it around, I am trying it with perlite. It’s also much more economical. So far, so good.
cool, I have some going in some terra cotta trays too!
Will you also be phasing out plastic on hydropnics for the larger crops like strawberries, squash and tomatoes?
Everything
Greetings from N. FL.! I love all the No-Plastic vids. The biggest takeaway for me is that the only limit is our imagination. Anything that can hold equal parts water and air seems to work, then all you need is a little light, and you’re off to the races. Cheers!
Have there been any issues with algea or the like. Will wait to see if long term things go….
I don’t worry about algae
Thanks Mike.
I like clear cup and the coffee cup
I don’t eat out so none.
Thank you for sharing
The clear cups look pretty cool. I like to see the progress
Nope I don’t like this system I tried it and the stink of the water and pebbles and seeds don’t work in the house . I’ll stick with my micro green growing containers they work beautiful .
Suit yourself. It is working wonderfully for me. We all don’t have to do the same thing. This is just the beginning of the trials.
Its not totally easy to eradicate plastic altogether if you do recycling.
Glass are breakable.
paper cup & container never last long.
Good for growing seed then transplant & discard container.
I saw you have upside down wide mouth container. I find that usable 3 ways at least.
I am playing with leca now cos when soil is not available you can keep recycling clay pebble.
Didn’t like the pool doodle beansprout idea cos in 3 days you can grow beansprout in kettle, pots & pan, glass bottles I learnt from youtube.
Sprouts & microgreen do not been nutrients just water. Vegetables do. The size of pak choy leaves show difference.
Keep on growing Mike. You are my inspiration!👍
Thank you!. Looking to break some preconceived notions that we all have. It may be what is holding me back so I approach it with an open mind.
What’s the big deal when you reuse them anyway?
It’s a big deal to some. If it’s not to you, then carry on and be happy. Some people will never try out hydroponics because of the plastic, I am just helping more people, even if we don’t see eye to eye.
Is there any reaaon u chose that size of clay pebbles over other sizes?
no, just my first try and what I used years ago.
