This is just a consolidated list of the various extras, accessories, and replacements I personally use with my different gardens. There are many options for most of these items; these I have personally used successfully. Most of the links (particularly to Amazon) are associate links, which help keep me gardening and able to create new content, as I am disabled with no regular income.
Another extremely common question when it comes to small in-home hydroponic gardening, is "Can I use organic fertilizers?"
Unfortunately, the answer, while not an outright no, is a very stringent 'it's not a good idea'. This tends to upset people if you leave it at that. But just because organic fertilizers aren't a good idea, doesn't mean your plants will be any less nutritious and healthy for you!
The problem here, and the apparent contradiction, is that "organic" has specific meanings in specific applications. It has unfortunately, however, become a 'buzz word' used by people to just generally mean 'natural' as opposed to covered in synthetic chemicals, like pesticides. In this situation, though, "organic" is really no more nutritious, and is not a particularly safer, better, or more sustainable system.
