They're called net pots and come in different sizes. You can get them on Ebay. I think they originated with hydroponics. They hold media and the seedling to allow the root system to get going.



I was told to use a 70/30 ratio of coco coir and vermiculite in them, which was a mistake once they were moved to the raft. The movement of the water from the diffusers under the plants causes much of it to wash away. I had to repack and add coffee filters in the bottom of the net pots to keep it from washing away. I will use gravel next time or I will use cheese cloth around the coco coir/vermiculite.


Didn't know if you were using the real thing or picked something up from Menards wink

I would think that small pea gravel would do the trick.

Aquaponics supplies are on the expensive side tho.
