@Tom Reddick As I am the person who developed the method, you’ll find a lot of info at my website.
I am not aware that anyone sells the pots any longer. I stopped about 5 years ago and the place in VA (name?) followed suit a couple years later, so now it’s a DIY situation - not that it is much of a burden for most.
Pots are plastic, with no perforations for drainage, into which two, 1/4” holes are drilled right next to each other, about 1”-1.5” up from the bottom. Deli containers are often used, but any plastic container - food storage, buckets, bathroom trash cans, etc. - will work. The holes can be drilled higher for larger containers to create a deeper reservoir.
Most folks prefer translucent-, or “natural” color so they can see the liquid level and roots, but I don’t bother any longer. Once plants are established, I water heavily and frequently, so drying out is not a concern.
Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) is the medium of choice, and most brands work just fine, once properly prepped.
