basic gravity system
 

I have just assembled an basic gravity system utilizing a 5 gal. bucket and a 6"-deep, 1' by 2' tub. Everything is in place and ready to go, but I am not certain which veges/plants to put in this tub. My concern is with the depth of the tub: will it be deep enough to supply tomatoes all the room they need to grow? What about peppers? Can anyone suggest a vege that will thrive in that environment??

Thanks, Brian

Hydro plants don't need a lot of roots because you are force feeding them ever half hour or so. Plants in dirt have to grow roots to supply the plant with nutrients and water. That produces a lot of energy. But with hydroponics all the energy goes to producing fruit and not roots.
