in two ways; the entire six chambers on one side for small crops such as
lettuce and herbs (Figure 6.30 and Figure 6.31) or three chambers on each
side of the 24-gallon reservoir for larger crops such as peppers and toma-
toes (Figure 6.32). The total system capacity in the flooded stage is 45 gal-
lons. Suggested retail prices for these units are $475 and $915, respectively.
Two of the 60-site system units may be connected to form 120 plant sites.
This extension module costs about $750.
The Econojet system by Botanicare as described in the ebb and flow
section can also be considered a combination system when using twelve
6-inch pots with expanded clay pebbles instead of the rockwool blocks as
mentioned earlier.
