Berry Plugs for Hydroponic Systems

I just registered the domain http://www.aerowool.com/. A couple of months ago I registered http://www.berryplugs.com/. For some time I have been growing alpine strawberry plugs and plugs of other plants. With berryplugs I hope to create a separate site where gardeners can go to find many sizes and types of berry plugs grown from seed. More on this later.

http://www.aerowool.com/ is a completely different concept. I've been interested in growing alpine strawberries and garden variety strawberris in hydroponic systems. I've done some experimenting and have received numerous emails from people asking about my experience with growing alpines in an Aerogarden(TM). I have tried the Aerogarden in a unit that I purchased well over a year ago and will outline my experience in another blog since I'm a little pressed for time right now.

A couple of months ago I decided to try to create a plug that would work in the Aerogarden and in other systems. I chose to use rockwool (hence the name aerowool). I wanted the plugs to be adaptable to several types of hydroponic systems so development is underway. I'll shortly post a picture on the blog of the prototypes which have been seeded.

More later .............
