I liked the sock trick. Finally something to do with my old gym socks once the toes blow out.
Great ideas. Greetings from Ghana in Africa
the socks were a genius idea! thanks!
So far you explained the system the best. The use of the sock is great. I really didnt want to use paint because like you I wanted to reuse jars. You just simple supplies and not a lot of items to buy. Thank you.
Black Socks???!! Genius!!! Awesomeeeeeee video!!!! Love your calm voice. I have been wondering for months what to use to cover the jars once I transfer my herbs out of the Aero & I refuse to paint them. And they look so chic. When i saw the thumb nail, i was like “oh cool, they sell slip- on covers for jars😂!” Thank you!
This is the first time ever heard of the Kratky garden. It looks so easy and produces so well. Thank you for sharing.
You may already know, but if you clip maybe 2 inches down on the top of your basil, it will spread out instead of growing straight up. Sometimes you have to clip it again, and again to keep it from going straight up.
Super helpful. Thanks.
Super helpful! this is exactly what I was looking for how to graduate from my first little Aerogarden kit! Thank you!
Very informative and helpful video. Thank you.
Great video! Like others, just wanted to say that the black sock hack is wicked.
great tutorial, thanks a lot!
Thank you! perfectly explained! this helps me tons!
Bravo Lfi !
Cute jar sweater ❤️
Love it!
Very informative. Thank you. You are a delight to listen to.
I really appreciate the video
Amazing. Thank you for such an awesome video!!! 3 thumbs up!!!
The sock idea is great! you can also use clay balls in the cups as well.
Thank you sooo much. I have never heard of this
A fantastic tutorial thank you! I have a small herb garden that’s outgrown their soup can containers & was looking for solutions that wouldn’t take up a lot of space.... looking forward to trying this!
Very cool!
Sock trick is so cool :)
Love your video
Wonderful!!! Thank You ❤ I use black leggings cut in 1/2 for my 1/2 Gallon Kratky Mason Jars.
They are so easy to pull down and see where the water level is. I didn't want to paint the jars either.
Great Video!!!! ❤❤❤
Really enjoyed your video on this method! Would love to see an update video with your current thoughts on this method compared to something like an aerogarden or click and grow!
Giving this a try to add some life to the window sills
The SOCKS ARE A GREAT IDEA! THANX
What steps should I take for growing from seed stage. Great video btw
Nice dear
Excellent tutorial! Thanks. I'm so happy you included the 'show and tell' product instead of having to have us search through your channel to see the results. The sock is a great idea!
Is the net cup needed? WOndering if the collar won't do the trick on its own. I've also seen someone who cuts up a pool noodle to use for collars ;-)
You should watch a video on pruning basil to make it bushy.
This is amazing!! Do the plants need to be kept in a window for light? Also, how often would you recommend checking the water levels? Thanks so much!
Thanks, I was really hoping to find a CZcams about this. I had been planning to get a 4.0 Gardyn unit to start as I really hope to grow a lot hydroponically, but needed to know some more things as every time I tried, with the new insulated windows and this semitropical environment inside my home, only sprouting chickpeas and lentils was consistently possible. Unfortunately my debit card wasn't accepted by Gardyn and the $39/month plan was what fit my budget. Otherwise people have to pay hundreds of dollars with each payment or pay for the whole thing when I am really hoping to have heirloom organic produce for all me food as soon as possible. As plant nutrition and health is going down for store bought and prices are going up. I want to optimally boost my immunity and optimize my fitness, too. I have learned waves of potentially incredibly dangerous disease, aren't going to stop and some are getting even worse than past varieties. I'll be searching for what to do to keep the system with a balanced clean. I'll be searching for red and blue led lights and trying to figure out how to keep the system so my vegan cats won't think it's playtime as so far if I bring a plant home, they love it to death. Have a nice day!
I don’t like using rockwool because of the dangers with the little fibers and inhaling them or touching them. I use leica. If you do use rockwool, you are supposed to wear an N95 and gloves when you use it
How long does this premixed nutrient solution last? Ist there no fall out after a period of time? Greetings from Austria
Can you transfer these into soil later on? Or would you want to leave it in the aeroplanter since it’s started that way?
do you use single-component liquid plant food fertilizer?
Have you had any luck with keeping and reusing seeds from any of your non-hybrid plants?
Can you grow patunias or other non-aphid flowers using the Kratky method?
is there ever a need to trim the roots?
OMG!!! Your video was great and easy to follow. Thank you!
I do have a question though. I want to move my hydroponics herbs to the jars...basically just as you described. My question is regarding the roots. They are already pretty long. Do I just trim them to make them fit in the net cup? Or do I just smoosh the roots into the net cup? Or do I just harvest what I have and simply try and start over with my herbs. TIA
Are your herbs currently in an aerogarden? You can get these and just place the aerogarden pod directly in it!

Otherwise, you can use the collars I mentioned and put them around the plant stem:
amzn.to/3O4onwa
Or, you can gently cut the bottom of the net cup to let the roots dangle through!
OMG!!! Thank you so much for these ideas! I love the first link you sent, and that was so helpful. Yes I have an aerogarden type system. It's the FAFAGRASS Hydroponics Growing System 12 pods. So I believe those pods will fit perfectly in those disc things. Much much much appreciated! Thank you for replying so quickly as well.
🥰🥰
I do have a black thumb -- probably because I have ADD, & therefore, time-blindness. I have no idea how long it has been since I last fed my baby (tracking apps are of critical importance), so don't expect me to know when I last overwatered that tender young plant. Woops! I just ignored 3 consecutive reminders to attend to my plants ... better go check to see whether it's dead or stressed but alive enough to prolong its suffering.
Could you point me to the socks you used? The link takes me to a page with various different socks. They look like Hanes men’s crew, but I’m not sure about the length. The ones you show cover the jar nicely. Thank you!
Sure, they’re these: amzn.to/3w7LPCa
Ah, so you used the Aerogarden nutrients. I wasn't sure how much to put. After I guessed, I saw this video. I followed the instructions on the Aerogarden nutrients bottle. I'm trying to grow cherry tomatoes, like I would in my Aerogarden.
I have all these extra net cups from Aerogarden seed kits. I was surprised to learn that those white plastic things fit perfectly at the top of a 101.4 ounce Poland Spring water bottle. (It's more cylindrical than the one shown in your video.) The problem is keeping out light so that algae doesn't grow. It's too big for socks. 😄
Ive also heard ppl try leggings or old clothes!
Or construction paper. Also vinyl sheets from dollar tree that you would use in a Cricut cutting machine.
What size socks LOL?
What size/brand men's socks did you use?
these: amzn.to/3V0VSCV
I’m north facing with barely any sunlight in my apartment, can these herbs grow without it?
This is a late reply but yes they can, but the growth will be tall and lean which is what happens when a plant is reaching towards the sun. I.E harvest will be poor. What you can do is get a weak 15 watt or so LED strip grow light to assist the natural sunlight. Added bonus is that those weak LED strips aren't expensive nor are they blinding, and they're also quite decorative.
Any other plants that thrive with this method aside from basil?
Any herb / lettuce are great! Growing shishitos and cayenne peppers now, have a video on tiktok
Mason jar ? I only have msn messenger
I used a pair of black boxer shorts. Strangely, my rosemary died 😮
