Default what is the best ppm meter

Hello,

Any sudgestions on wich ppm meter (within the $50-100 range)I should go with?

I am gathering the rest of the neccesary materials for a green house. Should be able to put it together by the end of the month (probobly in the snow, oh well. It's a quansa-hut style unit so can I use 4-6 mill plastic sheeting or should I use the stuff sold for greenhouses?

Any sudgestions for herbs? Something that is forgiving, I'll be trying some new things so I need a margin for error. I was thinking mabe basil but I want to try a few others also...just don't know wich ones.

I can't wait, It's got me almost giddy, I'll have a place under the sun year round. Will be setting up several different systems...airo (already built a small prototype,exciting!), flood and drain/flow types (in the works),gravel water culture(curently in use) and of corse soiless in buckets with drip (curently in use) because I still want to mess with the organics some.....I'll also be vermacomposting to make my own worm castings, and put my garbage to good useFirst bin will be built by the end of next week...just gota get those redworms ordered (to many things on one list, but it keeps me outa trouble).

Ok mabe I'm just dense but how dose one reply directly to a comment? Thanks for letting me ramble, I get tired of talking to the dog....he never hase anything to say

All That Jazz

The best PPM meter that has lasted the longest is the Dip Stick. It doesn't need calibrating and has an automatic shut off for people like me who leave the pen on and the batteries die. Cost $110.00 but well worth it.

Here in Florida I can grow just about any herb. Their is a greenhouse down the road that sells 150 verities that I am going to try to see which ones do best in hydroponics. I will let you know.

If you let me know what comment you are referring to I will post it right under the comment so it will make sense.

Ron
