sea asparagus: well, I saw it in the grocery store in the fish section. I thought it was seaweed. It is grown in brackish water, so maybe it does qualify as a seaweed. I don't know if you can buy at your local grocery store, but I know you can get it online. Macro look at it and it looks like stringy seaweed. A closer look at it shows seriously thin spears of asparagus. It's cool.
Do you use a net to keep the plants on the surface in thhe hydroponic set-up? I'll just google for the answer.
FYI: Here are some problems that people commonly have with their plants.
1. Improper mixing of nutrients or nutrient deficiencies (read directions) 2. Bugs and pest (use environmentally safe controls) 3. Letting plants dry out (water manually if necessary) 4. Improper or not enough Light (use 500 to 2000 foot candles) 5. Wrong temperature (keep between 65 and 95 F.) 6. Improper humidity (mist or spray, except cactus) 7. Improper pH (keep between 5 and 7 for most plants) 8. Toxic elements in water, system, or growing medium (don't use galvanized metal, copper or brass) 9. Bacterial or fungal infection (keep clean and sterile) 10. Waterlogged roots (no standing water in grow-beds) 11. Toxic salt buildup (flush with water every 2 - 3 weeks) 12. Pets urinating, etc. (keep pets out of growing area) 13. Spilling concentrated nutrients or pH adjusters (don't) 14. Windblown herbicides from neighbors (wash off) 15. Improper aeration (provide better drainage, aerate) 16. Experimenting (don't deviate too far from instructions) 17. Location changes (light, temp., pH, etc. can stress plants) 18. Freezing or wind damage (prevent and protect plants)
