Like Soil is to a Garden, Hydroton is to an Aquaponics System

Grow Beds won't grow anything unless they hold Grow Bed Media. The Media replaces soil that soil gardeners use

to grow their plants. The Media also holds the friendly bacteria the plants need to grow and be healthy.


Some Aquaponics Farmers use gravel for this purpose, but we don't recommend gravel. It's difficult to work with,

heavy and is hard on your hands, as you have to reach down into your Grow Beds for various reasons.


Hydroton is the best Grow Bed Media on the market. It is made of pH neutral Expanded Clay and is, therefore, an ecologically sustainable medium. The pebbles have neutral buoyancy in water, do not compact, are inert, contain no nutrients and are completely reusable. 


All of our PLUG & GROW Food Growing Systems come with Hydroton Grow Bed Media precisely measured out for each System. This Page is for DIY Aquaponics System builders or gardeners who want to buy Hydroton from us and who are  building their own Aquaponics System.


Warning: We are experiencing some supply chain issues with Hydroton, and, therefore, recommend you place your Order ahead of your immediate need for it.


$48.88 for one 50 Liter Bag. There is no Buy Button on this Page because the price Does NOT Include Shipping.

All of our PLUG & GROW™ Food Growing Systems come with the exact amount of Hydroton you need so you DO NOT have to Order any Hydroton or worry about the Shipping Cost when you purchase a System from us. The price of the Hydroton is built into the Total System Price. That's one reason we call our Systems PLUG & GROW™ Food Growing Systems. The image below is of one of our larger PLUG & GROW™ Food Growing Systems with 44 sq. ft. of Growing Area. The red pebbles in the 4 Radial Grow Beds are full of Hydroton.
