I got a wire shelf unit to hang the light from. With the chain/clips – the height of the light is adjustable.

Question by Amanda: Do you grow with Hydroponics? What do you recommend?
I recently bought some basil and parsley seeds and was reading about different methods to grow them (all the soil pots in my kitchen always end up dying quickly). So I stumbled upon a website talking about growing with a Hydroponic kit (growing without soil).

What are your experiences with this growing method? Is there a specific brand of Hydroponics that you would recommend?

Any info would be appreciated.
