Starting Plants from Cuttings

A plant sprouting holding table is necessary in an aquaponic system.
I have a long narrow table that is shaped like a rectangular baking pan.
Net pots filled with planting medium (coconut fiber and vermiculite)
set in the pan after the seeds are inserted. Water flows through this pan,
then out the drain at one end. Seeds sprout here in the sun and wait to be inserted into the
aquaponic system. Germination may occur in days or weeks , depending on the type
of seed and the weather.

There are shortcuts  in aquaponic system planting. As a beginner this is a good one to try:

Take an 8 or 10 inch  cutting from the top of your favorite tomato plant.
Insert it into an empty net pot until it goes at least an inch through the bottom  of the pot.
Fill in the net pot around the cutting with coconut mix  planting medium.
Cut all but the top two or three leaves from the cutting.
Insert net pot in the aquaponic system and STAND back.
You are about to have an incredible growing experience.
