Growing indoor plants using Kratky hydroponics method. Using reusable growing medium that requires little effort to reset.
Previously used clay pellets to secure sponge growing medium, but untangling and rinsing them after harvest proved to be time consuming and very messy.
Switched to foam tubing (foam noodle), $1.50ea 59 feet long, 2¼ in. diameter. Tubing is cut into ¾" donuts, producing 50+ pieces. Foam donut is only used to suspend the sponge growing medium (1" length x ½" depth x ½" width) in a 3" net pot with 2.8" inner mouth diameter. Donut is cut to fit a small wedge for a snug fit up top. Sponges are tiny enough to fit inside the donut and small enough so the plant can expand easily without getting pinched.
Sprouts transferred in sponges and into the net pots will only be moved after harvest. Minimizing chances of root disturbance or breakage.
