The disadvantage of hydroponics is you must buy "plant food" or nutrition and supplements that are pricey.

@nkjohri I talked to them last week and just got on their site, so yes they are still there. They may have been having some webpage issues.

Anyone know if cropking is still around? their website has been down past 2 days...not sure if they shut down :(

@Lklee08 You need to set your house up East to West so it'll get full sun all day, except in the late afternoon. The big door needs to face the east. Get with Jeff with cropking, they have all the answers to get the most out of growing.
Circle A Lettuce http://circlealettuce.com/ This is exactly what we need more of, community based agriculture/farming. We need THIS generation and the one coming up (children to Gen X) to take an interest in farming/growing their own food or creating a demand within their communities for good, wholesome, local grown foods. Any Georgia farmers out there, PLEASE take a look at the Farmer Veteran Coalition and the new program that the Dept. of Veteran's Affairs and USDA have come together to create. As a veteran with PTSD who is Georgia born and raised and with an extreme interest in farming/ag I'd like to see more opportunities available with more farms/farmers participating in the program trying to help put veterans to work again as veteran farmers and veteran ranchers.
