What supplies do we need to purchase, besides the seeds, over time to continue using this Hydroponic herb garden?

The only thing I've bought for mine is batteries for the unit that tells you when the water is low and nutrients. I bought a sample bottle of golden tree off amazon. It has everything needed by the plant for growth and flowering in one bottle. All you do is add the given amount to a gallon of water and add every 2nd time you refill the garden. Just dump any extra water out of the holding tank first. That's all I've bought for my unit. And I gotta be honest I love the golden tree nutrients n my zero soil system. It allows a single plant per container or more depending on the type of plant and size. There's a divided cover in case you have multiple herbs you're growing to keep them separated. It's small and can fit anywhere. Mine is in a window.

Nothing really--seeds, water and light! If you replant, you would need more dirt and seeds but that's it.

Also if you don't plan on cleaning and reusing the substrate vermiculite and perlite will be needed.

Only batteries and maybe soil. But only if you want to change plants or spread them out a little.

Depending on what you are growing, you may need Florabloom, and Floramicro. I was growing lettuce, so I did not require the Florabloom or the Floramicro.

Hey David did you end up planting these hydroponically? I am considering the same. Thanks!

Unfortunately we do not have the kit available without the buckets. You may be able to contact the manufacturer directly (PowerGrow Systems) and see if they can better assist you.

i guess what medium your putting em in would be the biggest factor to that i would think if your going to dirt that the more root the better . To hydro just enough to get started ~

I don't know. We have a local hydroponics store and I can buy bigger lids there, as well as the buckets themselves. Thus, there was no need on my part to buy from Amazon supplier.

You do not absolutely NEED anything else but a liquid fertilizer is helpful. You can pick up a basic weekly use fertilizer (I use flourish by Seachem) or look into EI dosing (more work, better results). Depending on your plants you may want to look into root tabs (small fertilizer tablet in the substrate under the plant), CO2, and better lighting systems.Research into your plants will determine if you need to upgrade lighting and use CO2.All told, I do well with eco-complete and the weekly dose of Flourish. I do just as well in my sand substrate though. I prefer eco-complete for size and color. I have not found anything comparable in those factors near the price of eco-complete.

I recommend renting the rocks for hydroponic use. any other use should include the grit for mineral purposes

Yes you can, there are additional plants you can grow, the company, DuneCraft sells refill packs. I purchased a sweet pepper and tomato pack, but I haven't planted either one so I don't know how well they grow. I haven't checked to see if Amazon sells the refill pack or not. If you plan on growing the lettuce, it's the leaf lettuce the kind you would mix in a salad for extra greens. I hope this answers your question.

No,you have to buy a plant and soil at garden store ( Lowell's or Home Depot ) are the best I've seen.

Not necessasarily you need to look online and ask a nursery a garden shop call them for best mix I have Peat moss:perlite and try to grow vegetables and insect eating plants the mix is different per type of plant I think you may have to add 4 soil count to 1 or 1:1 depending on your location

It has peat as well as earthworm castings. These along with lots of beneficial microbes should provide enough nutrients for most plants you'd be planting in it for at least 6 months.

My husband said yes. It shows on the box how you can do that he said. Great garden and more than enough output for a family just starting a garden. We did lots of tomatoes, wax peppers, cucumbers, 4 different herbs, green beans and small onions.

Precisely! You add water and the "jiffy pots" (which are compressed soil and peat moss in a mesh netting that disintegrates when you re-plant the seedlings) will expand to their useful size. And be sure to save the tray and the cover. You can purchase the "jiffy pots" separately and use them again next year.

This particular one I purchased came with a small bottle of SuperGrow Liquid Plant Nutrient. There is no size listed, but it's probably big enough to feed 10-20 batches of AeroGarden growing. Hope this answers your question.

It depends on the herb. I managed to get nice healthy clumps of everything I planted. we just moved in so I had to start from scratch. I did try some indoors and they didn't do so well. I will post pictures the spring when everything comes back up

Same here. Peat plantable pots, greenhouse covered(keep moisture in), no sprouts, 3 varieties...I kept them in the refrigerator for 3 weeks before planting.
