I am looking for a supplier of Reticulated PU Foam sheet for grow media in a zip grow tower setup I am building. Anyone know a source here in thailand ? Thanks.

Hello All, have you tried on any of the aquaponics threads on the TV farming forum? 

Bangsai is on several the hydro threads, they sell DWC hydro systems in BKK. They

use a floating poly board to hold the net cups.

Also Aquaponics Thailand may as some people use raft systems.

Also on one of the hydro threads, back 3-4 pages, Slacked Jaw Chef had a link to his

site, but if you dig through it and his u-tube stuff, or just PM him for where he got the 

raft boards for his AP system, he's in the South and the new MODERN A-P is in S.BKK

Metro.

I have checked the hydro stores.I can use styrofoam for a raft system, I didnt ask for a raft system. I need  reticulated pu foam sheeting for grow media for vertical grow towers something not easily sourced here in thailand. Maybe you are not famiiliar with this system, thats why I asked if anyone knew of a source for it. Thats what forums are for.

No I didn't know what s zip tower(from Montana?) was till I googled it was.

Good luck finding your pu foam.

10-40 would be okay. I have found it at the fish shops but way too expensive for the amount needed and probably treated with something. I have emailed a couple of foam makers in BKK but as always with thai business they either cant read the email or dont bother replying. The vertical towers are the best as you can grow a lot of product with little space. I will line my outer house walls with them under the roof, no need for shade cloth. They are limited to what you can grow but greens, herbs and strawberries are fine. Youtube some videos I think you will want to try them. easy to make with pvc pipe, if you can find the foam at a  good price. Some people are using net pots with media by making holes in the pipe too but not as efficient as the foam method. The foam has so much surface area for bio activity its perfect for plant growth, and the foam is reusable and gets better after each use.
