Easy and inexpensive wick system method for growing herbs and other plants

I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post. This is at no extra cost to you and helps support my site and YouTube channel.

Introduction

This is a very easy and cheap to grow small plants using a multi site wick system crafted most out of recyclable/repurposable materials that would normally be thrown away.

Materials and Supplies Needed

• 8 ounce Styrofoam cups
• Microfiber cloth, or some other material that will wick
• Sharp knife
• Scissors
• Potting medium – I used coco coir.
• Hydroponic nutrients – I use Dyna-Gro 7-9-5.
• Reservoir for the cups to wick from – I used a plastic salad mix container from the grocery store.
• Aluminium foil – This is to block out light. You could use something else.
