Hello from the wilds of Montana! Weather sure has been weird here. 👋👋👋

The cost of food has driven me to buy two hydroponics setups. Yeah, I'm starting slow with this because this is new to me, but I need to cut our food bill. I settled on two different systems: the iDOO and the Asphalt Rose. The iDOO is a 12 pod system and the Asphalt Rose is for growing microgreens. Any thoughts, recommendations, etc? I've also heard of DWC which may work for us. Thoughts about that? Thanks in advance and hello!!

Welcome to the forum!

I never heard of either of those system.

Would you explain about each system and why the systems are better than a DIY setup?

Welcome! Starting with two different systems sounds like a smart way to see what works best. I’ve heard DWC is great for faster growth, especially for greens, but it can need more monitoring. Microgreens in the Asphalt Rose should be easy to manage, and the iDOO pods are nice for experimenting with different plants.
