Why you need an ebb and flow hydroponics system

I love my new flood and drain system (or ebb and flow). Here are 5 reasons why it is AWESOME, and a couple reasons why it may not work for you. My spinach turned out amazing btw…

Stuff to build it:

I use General Hydroponics 3 part fertilizer:

I used clear tubing. Black may be better. If you use the pump above, you need 1/2″ ID tubing
