    I got to say, I've watched a ton of aquaponics videos. In fact I'm making a playlist called Gardening. But this is the first I've seen of the pool noodles method, and it is brilliant! Thanks much.
  • @lsh3rd
    Now, that's using your noodle!
  • It's been 2 years now since I employed this technique (using pool noodles). And it works! Thank very much for the idea!

    This should get more views. It's so practical and frugal for people working with a small space. I actually think this may be cleaner and less costly than using soil.

    The pool noodle is really cool, and much cheaper than other methods I've looked at, perfect for someone just getting started with it. The funny intro is what sold it for me haha, keep up the good work!

    Hi folks! This is a great idea, saves money and lots of hassle. But I'm a lil concerned about the pool noodle, which is plastics, and if there can be any health risks, especially used long term and under extended high heat, such as mid-summer sunlight? I remember an article I read some time ago on safety of growing food in plastic container using hydroponics, the author said something like "how much of an effect does heat and light have on plastics in the garden?" is not clear. I'm no expert by any means, but more of a consumer hoping those who are knowledgeable on this shed some light on this for us. Much appreciated.
