Ball basil herb growing kit review
This is a review of the Ball Basil herb growing kit. I purchased this in the canning section of WalMart. I also show a diy alternative growing system that you can make with a mason jar and three-inch net cup. There are time-lapse videos showing two stages of growth between the Ball mason jar basil herb growing kit and the diy mason jar growing system that I made.

Cool experiment Peter.
I'd like to see it redone with the same seeds. Do the Bell kit according to the instructions and do your DIY kit to the best of your ability and see if you can outperform it.
Don't try to match the PPM or anything, just use your knowledge to blow the Bell kit out of the water.
Still confused by the charcoal in the bell kit though.
Cool comparison, Peter! If Ball is going to sell that type of kit, they should better understand hydroponic gardening. A clear jar? Ball Co. fail. Keep the videos coming!
thanks for the tip on the 3 inch net cup and the mason jar!
That's the very first thing I tried when getting into hydroponics. Got the basil to grow really well!
Great review Peter. I think this Ball kit is a great way for a novice to try hydroponic gardening.
Very cool, as always, my favorite is time lapse. Interesting comparison. I use the Dynagro for most inside hydroponics now. Works great in AeroGardens too. Thanks Peter.
