Ask the Hydroponic Gardening Expert
Hello, and welcome to my hydroponic gardening website...my name is Jason. I would like to thank you for visiting Jason's Indoor Guide. My very favorite hobby is my indoor garden. I have been at it for 20+ years now, and I have steadily gotten better and better results over time.
I can't tell you how many times I have been asked, and have repeated,
some of the advice here to a friend or acquaintance eager to get
started in the right direction. I have personally helped design, start, and kept running smoothly literally hundreds of indoor gardens over the last 20+ years!
Obviously, it was just a matter of time before I put a whole resource
together that would teach people the basics, take them step by step
through designing a garden, choosing appropriate equipment, and provide
them with all of my recommendations. That resource is Jason's Indoor Guide.
I try my best to make all the information here simple, but also very helpful. Before you submit a question, please look through my Site Map and browse a few pages....the answers to many questions can be found here already. Even more answers can be found in my other FAQ pages.
Yet, in spite of my best efforts to make all of the information here
complete, there may be something I have overlooked....or perhaps
something I did not fully explain. So....
Do You Have a Question?
Most simple questions come from visitors getting ready to start their first indoor garden. Once your garden is started, however, unanswered questions can become horrible, nagging problems that prevent you from getting the results you want! Believe me, I've been there! Drop me a line and tell me your story....my experience can help you avoid or fix those problems.

Hydroponics
The ultimate solution to eliminate the cost of your hydroponic nutrients: Imagine a hydroponic system that does not require you to buy any nutrients, does not require you to make your own compost, and does not require you to brew your own nutrient tea. Seriously! No cost and no effort as far as providing nutrients to your plants! Plus, at the end of the gardening cycle you harvest all of your garden vegetables, PLUS YOU HARVEST FISH from the system....
Aquaponics
This solution is aquaponics. If you are serious about producing all of your own food and being self-sufficient, this is the ultimate solution for reducing expenses (as much as possible), reducing the total amount of work required, and maximizing the productivity of your gardening efforts. I have been gardening for over 24 years, and it is the perfect food production solution in my opinion.
Besides mastering how to make high quality compost, learning aquaponics is one of the top 3 things you can do to increase your garden productivity, reduce your total costs, and reduce your total work. The product that I learned from is called Aquaponics4you. With all of my hydroponic gardening experience, the first time I came across the Aquaponics4you product I knew immediately that it was something very special! Place an aquaponics system outdoors and use the sun instead of grow lights, and you have reduced every garden expense to nearly ZERO!
