I've mentioned it in the weekly thread but these are sitting an inch deep in nutrients and water. They drink it down, and I refill it when they need it. Its a hydroponic method called kratky. I don't have a hose or a lot of room so this might be a good solution for me. Excited to see how it goes!

I was curious how you'd float or secure the plants in the nutrient water, thanks for sharing! Wishing you many happy harvests of fresh food!
