can someone please explain to me why anyone uses an air stone in the res
Makes no sense to me
you dont need disolved oxygen in the res if the res is acting like a natural basin and the roots and media wick it up
oxygen will come from the top when the top of the media dries
I dont get the extra gadgets that have only anecdotally done anything with no proof
Just Wondering
I have been using this method of growing container tomatoes for about 10 years and have never heard of anyone using air stones in the res
@PDX Joe
when top dressing....are you going to be watering in from the top
I have always had much better success building my grow media and allowing it to cook for a while before I use it...kinda like a weaker version of super soil....with all the goodies and micro life living and working at full tilt before dropping my plants in....another thing that helps is actual worms in the media replicating nature
