I know i love the little sponges and holders like your link.

I also love the Lecca balls. https://www.amazon.com/Legigo-Expanded-Aggregate-Hydroponic-Aquaponics/dp/B09QM4NH2Q/ref=sr\_1\_1\_sspa?crid=KYT5R2UAR8HK&keywords=hydroton%2Bclay%2Bpebbles&qid=1672436540&sprefix=hydroton%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-1-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOEFTSzhHRlcwTkM4JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDEwNjEyMzNFQkREOE5TQkhPWCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjY2MDM4MjIySUxIQkRBRVJSTyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1

Don't forget your container will need net cups. https://www.amazon.com/Hydroponic-Plastic-Slotted-Nursery-Hydroponics/dp/B08CGVL9FW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3RUX6R39QBSRV&keywords=net+cups&qid=1672436220&sprefix=net+cups%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-5

unless you get the sponge kit and drill small holes to fit the small white holders.

I also adore this kit. https://www.amazon.com/Blackout-Hydroponic-Container-Sprouting-Healthily/dp/B09ZXYK8J8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SBU5ISKZBZSC&keywords=hydroponic+quart+mason&qid=1672436325&sprefix=hydroponic+quart+mason%2Caps%2C112&sr=8-1

​

I can so I have a bunch of mason jars. But I also use it because I drilled 3 inch and 2 inch holes in my large tub. If I want to use one of my sponge white holders I can just use the black plastic ring to hold it.

​

Don't forget the toppers for 5 gallon buckets either.

​

I do the Kratky that one of the previous posters was talking about. It's great and no pump or air needed. I also have two fake aerogarden that I often use to start seeds for indoor or outdoor.

I'm a total newbie to hydroponics (2 months in) but I love it. I have gardened for a long time.

​

Start with lettuce if you like salads. Or Basil. These are some of the easiest things to grow and they grow fast so fun. I also have tomato (orange hat which stays very small). Tomato, black cherry which gets way too big but I knew that it would be a monster when I planted it. cucumber, jalapeno, red pepper, Yod Fah (a broccoli raab), radish, celery, basil, oregano, peppermint, majoram, kholrabi, 5 different lettuces, some sweet potato starts for spring, eggplant start, a pixie cabbage (only 5 in head).

​

Since I'm only 2 months in I have only taken, herbs, lettuce, celery leaves, radish and cucumber out of my hydro stuff so far. But tomorrow is Yod Fah stir fry and I have flowers on both peppers and tomatoes flowers.

​

About to start a new batch of seeds for lettuce and outdoor plantings.

Good luck you can do it!
