   Great idea. Think I will try and use small clay pots in lieu of plastic which will get brittle and crack easier. Additional supports needed as the clay pot will be heavier than plastic cups.

   All very well, but these are starters – this isn’t a garden. No way can you grow carrots, potatoes, onions, whatEVER in these – only start them.

     You can’t grow root crops in an aquaponic garden. It doesn’t grow correctly, and I am told it doesn’t taste correct either.

   What do you do when the plants get bigger? Won’t the root system get cup bound? Is there a way to modify the design to grow anything bigger?

   Remember clay will also swell with water 🙂

   So much plastic – including those dreading red cups! There is a better way – without plastic. Look up on Pinterest
