Why did my pump come in with a clear flexible tubing?

Just got mine and about to assemble!

Is it possible to grow root vegetables - potato, radish, carrots - in this system? Or only above ground plants?

Can you use regular soil in this system, or only coco coir?

Getting ready to set up out first tower. Any problems with the grow medium falling through the bottom pot holes into the reservoir? Wondering if I need to add something to prevent that from happening and want to do it before final assembly.

Questions . I have been using hydroponics for some time. First is algae growth? A open system like this that light gets into will grow algae. One pump? I lost all of my plants because my pump failed during the night . I had no backup pump. The other is a power outage for 3 hours, again I lost my plants. So because I had no backup pump once I lost my plants. Algae went wild in my first plants and I lost them. Then a thunderstorm happened and I lost power for 4 hours. All plants died. Without a generator or some form of backup power you can’t depend on your system. A alarm that wakes you up if water is not flowing for 30 minutes is a must.

You really want to use food grade containers, otherwise you'll be leaching chemicals from the plastic containers into your food.

Can you tell me where you Purchased these from ? Thanks

Why do you use a Clorox bleach solution at first? Is it to clean the pipes of any manufacturing debris?

What surround lighting system were you using?!

Good update On your garden and Ezgro system. Question for you which motion detector water sprayer did you get and how does it perform ? I am not much of a gardener so I have no suggestions of what you could grow on the shade side of your house best of luck to you. I do have a friend who runs a farm so the next time I talk to them I can ask that question to them .

Good video and info much appreciated .

doesn’t it clog up the pump below. all that coir

Pictures start at 8:40. Great review. Very cool grow light setup. I have mine in my kitchen. I did direct sow for all seeds and all sprouted. However lost a few because not enough sunlight in kitchen. Started experimenting with grow lights and have 12-13 plants growing strong. Using red blue lights. Any thoughts on those versus the white lights you are using? Also not sure if it is because of the indoor temp but water parts almost a month.

Love your videos Joe! Fingers crossed soon we will be in a new house and finally have a backyard to garden. User forums for EZ Gro are surprisingly scarce, so just an "average joe" describing and demo'ing their experience is EXACTLY what I'm looking for!! Gonna keep following your progress, keep posting the monthly updates! :D

My coco mix is watery/soupy. I have about 3 inches of brown water in the bottom when I push the coco fiber to the side. @3:35 you say you already have some mix in when you put the coco block in the container. Is that why yours is not soupy? Or is something wrong with my coco fiber?? Not absorbing like it should? I put exactly 3 gals of water in it.

Setting up my system with your video, thank you!! One question: how do you refil water and nutrients when it’s time to?

Thank you so much for this video!! EzGro should have made one like this. It's much easier to understand the instructions that they included after watching this!

Great setup video. I just received my tower and I’ll be referencing this. Hoping to supplement an outdoor garden.

Would you consider doing update videos on your garden?

This set up is genius

Great video thank you. Question, I'm using a ruler to measure the water level, at how many inches should I then fill up?

II have tried to order ez grow deck garden . The website will not calculate the shipping charges. I've called them 5 times. They called me one time and I missed their call. They have only an answering machine - no human. I've emailed 3 times - no response. As nice as this system seems, I may let it go . Terrible customer service for spending so much money. They must not need the business. ??? Did you have this much trouble?

How quickly did you receive your system after ordering?

Great vid, thanks!

thx for sharing

I live in Germany and your videos are really good .. While I can hardly English but that does not matter. Keep it up! Thank you from Germany / Hamburg
