Re: Hydroponics Organically

Doreen.

You might look into Earth Juice. It's a liquid organic fertilizer  
that was developed around hydro-organics. I've used it a lot on  
containers and seedlings with great results.

Good luck with it.

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.
