Thanks for the link. Their customer photos are impressive. Expensive though.

Yes it can be expensive...however the growing material can be re-used for 10 seasons or more...so it is more up-front for sure but over time I think the costs come more in line.

Additionally if you are already container gardening (i.e. earthboxes, etc) this is in the same price range however the capacity and yield is much higher.

Currently I am evaluating and testing a new set of LED grow lights along with this system in a “tool shed” type of structure to see if you can actually build a secure but small footprint “greenhouse” for a family of four. At least that is my goal to see if it can be done.

BTW if you call Chester directly at HydroStacker he will cut you a really decent price. What is listed on the website I have never paid and he will talk you through whatever you need.

He is 3rd or 4th generation farmer and has been doing hydroponics for over 20 years. There are people knocking off his technology but he has the patents and one thing I noticed when I visited his farm - it is one of the cleanest farms I have ever seen.
