Hello all!
I've been a long time reader on the forums but I've always found answers to my questions without the need to ask further, but now I'm stuck in a good way. I'm going to upgrade my grow area from 18"x24" to 2'x4'.
I grow lettuce and culinary herbs indoors during the winter and I currently use the Kratky method for lettuce and dirt for the herbs. I want to move away from dirt, but I'm not sure which system to use. I will be growing basil, cilantro, thyme, and rosemary
My only requirement is for 8 sites and a system that I can add or remove plants individually. Some of the plants can survive for extended periods of time and they are harvested leaves at a time rather than all at once so I have to be able to add more nutrient solution - which is why I don't think Kratky will work.
Currently, I'm considering mini Dutch buckets or Recirculating DWC. Does anyone have any other suggestions? With these two methods, what size of containers do you think I'd need?
I know that this isn't for weed, but I've looked around and there aren't a ton of resources for culinary herbs that isn't just an ad for an aerogarden. So, here I am, with the real people of the field.
Thank you all!
