Hydroponics Organically

**"* H* <g*@charter.net>**

I received a nice surprise this morning.  My neighbor gave me and installed a hydroponic growing stack.  His company manufactures the growing trays, and he had a number of units for his garden and shared.  I had him put it in a small perennial garden that grows under my kitchen window.  I plan to plant the stack with 16 strawberry plants.

I know Tom Alexander is on this list and a number of you have hydroponic experience.  I know nothing.  But, I want to do this organically, as all my gardening is organic.  My neighbor told me that I have to water the stack with three quarts of diluted fertilizer twice a day.  He uses the blue stuff.  I won't!

What can I use that is organic?  Do you think fish meal emulsion has enough nutrients for a system that will be leached out twice a day?

Any and all advice is appreciated.
