Pool noodles turn to dust when left in the sun. Just wondering how far they break down and if the chemical constituents end up in solution. I think I'd like to see some sort of chemical analysis of the crops just to make sure that there are no nasty radicals present. Otherwise I'm excited by this technique and it's economy.

As far as I know most pool noodles are made from EVA not PVC since kids will be playing with them. EVA is used in baby teething rings and medical supplies. They last pretty much an entire grow season and are cheap enough to replace often. In addition, the whole downspout is PVC and comes in direct contact with the water, probably more of a concern than the pool noodle that does not. There are always food grade NFT channels.

I transplanted sunflowers that I left too long sprouting the seeds (from last Sunday) some of them were about 10cm tall. I used the noodle and cut the top part of soft drink bottles and inverted them to hold the noodle bit. Let the roots dangle in the nutrient water mix. Left about 2 cms between water and base if stems. I’m in Cairns, far North Queensland living in a unit. My balcony faces north east so I get morning sun until about 11am. Being in the tropics, the sun is quite hot. I’ve successfully been gowing a herb garden since December .. parsley, basil, mint, shallots, spinach vine.

@Jake Sangria Afaik uptake of "bad stuff" is a much more pronounced problem in hydro/aquaponics than it is in soil. There's also the difference in taste, due to the plants developing very differently in comparison. I don't see much reason to do vegetable hydroponics if you're not doing it out of curiosity, novelty or survival reasons. If you just want tasty vegetables, grow in soil.
@celticwinter4 жыл бұрын
@Jake Sangria I'd guess pool noodles are foamed polystyrol. There's probably no need for plasticizers, but I couldn't say for sure. I wouldn't be too concerned about it, as you are unlikely to eat a full plate of your vegetables every day. Also the styrofoam isn't in constant contact with the nutrient solution, I think. Be concerned about what the roots are in contact with. Thorough washing is something you do with all polymers in contact with your food (e.g. polymer water tank of a new coffee machine). Climate conditions are a great reason to look into hydroponics, I think.
@celticwinter4 жыл бұрын
@Jake Sangria If you don't eat the vegetables every day I generally wouldn't worry more than necessary. Polymerized styrol should be far too big of a molecule to be just sucked up by roots, I'm guessing. I'd think more about the plasticizers and the like, which is a possibility. What exactly do you think will accumulate in those plants? You could compare COD values of your hydroponic and soil grown tomatoes maybe? A uni lab near you will probably be willing to do it. It's a pretty quick test. GC is a lot more involved and expensive. But it's about oxidizing, maybe there's better tests for what you want to know. The only way to know for sure is testing.

My space to grow is very limited and I want to make this work without buying saws & drills. Rather than getting seeds, I plan to start this using live herb plants such as mint, thyme, oregano, basil. Do you suggest washing roots when removed from soil? To grow each patch of herbs (not aiming to maintain them as individual plants), could planter pots with drainage grids and saucers be used? Could black shelf liner be used to support root growth? Could Keurig "K" plastic coffee brewing cups, each which have a paper filter inside if really careful removing used grounds, with bottoms somehow cut be up-cycled&used instead of net pots?

Hi Mike, Great videos. I am just starting with hydroponics. Quick question for you. When you take a new seedling and surround it with the pool noodle, you use the cut out piece to hold it in the middle, does it not suffocate and restrict the growth of the seedling as it grows into the plant. Or it is strong enough to push itself through the surrounding pool noodle?

I usually grow leafy greens such as chards, kale, pak choy, lettuce, etc. they all seem to do fine. If you look back a few videos, I transplanted some lettuce from a nursery, did not even need the small piece to hold them in place. If you do not leave a small space for a microgreen, yes you can squash it. The leaves can keep it from slipping thru the hole while the roots dangle in the nutrient solution.

@KeepOnGrowin6 жыл бұрын
I am so sorry I missed this comment! I only use a few led grow lights inside during the winter, which in Florida is only a month or so. Then it is outdoors the rest of the year with just natural light. I follow a few people that live farther north and grow indoors a lot with lights.

Back in my day we didn't call them microgreens. We called them sprouts.
@KeepOnGrowin4 жыл бұрын
Actually, we still use the term sprouts. According to most Health Depts, a sprout is germinated with just water, usually in a jar. A mi rogreens is grown on or in some type of medium such as soil, coir, grow pad etc. Microgreens have less regulations than sprouts which are more prone to pathogens be ausr of the high humidity environment. Microgreens are trimmed above the grow medium thus less chance. 😎🖒
