Curious as to what plants you guys have had success growing in your Aquaponics Deep Water Culture setup! Lettuce is a given, but how about Bok Choy, Cilantro, Parsley, Spinach, Kale, and Celery?

You can grow pretty much anything in a DWC. Some plants like tomato's may require support.

What do you mean by support? Vertical support or do you mean that the raft has to be well designed?

Yea,. vertical support. But you would do this in a conventional garden if you wanted to train them anyway.

Oh, that's a neat picture! I was considering using wood propped over the top of the GB instead of foam so I wouldn't have the issue of sinking either. Neat
