    I am getting ready to start the new beds with the grow grips. my beds have an inside measurement of 94.5" x 34.5. I thought I should break up the grow beds into 4 sections. I understand about the high density foam for 2 weeks but how many plants should I have in regular beds? that is to ask hos close should the holes be?

    Love the info. Starting our system with Grow Grips this fall.
    Have you tried using a plastic peanut butter jar for the water in the wicking beds? They would be more stable as the lid is the same size as the jar.

    What are the best hole saw sizes to use? I know they are 1 and 2 inch grips, but should the hole saw be slightly smaller to get a good, snug fit? Thanks

    loved the first section how how to start seedlings, I'll have the keep in mind for future. With the GrowGrips, I like how versatile and user friendly they are, my only hesitation from this product is disposing them after multiple uses. Like with aquaponics, there is not waste in a system and I try to do the same with my media. If there is a way to re-purpose or recycle the material, please comment. Thank you.

    I have about 2" of dry zone on top of my grow bed that runs on a flood with continuous flow and another grow bed with the same 2" dry zone on the top BUT ebb and flow (auto siphon).

    Can I use the GrowGrip and put a couple of seeds and plant the GrowGrip 1" deep directly on the aquaponics grow bed or should I plant it where the bottom of the Growgrip is barely touching the wet zone ?

    Do you think this will work and germinate the seeds on both the continuous flow and ebb /flow grow bed ?

    And once the seeds has germinated and becomes seedling, take it out of the GrowGrip and re-plant the seedlings directly to the grow bed.

    Seeing the grow grips floating around on their own. Could you make an entire raft of that material and then have a slot that you can squeeze to place the plants? a bit like: O — O. I guess it probably depends on which material is cheaper.
