Growing a hydroponic garden does not have to be expensive. We are building some kratky bins for less than $10 and they don’t have to cost you anything if you use the right materials or have them latying around your house already.

I have the Gardyn system and it works great. I was wondering – have you ever used an aquarium wave maker inside the nutrient tank to keep the solution well mixed?
My personal feelings on this is when I did it I grew six lettuces in about eight weeks think it have been longer.each one had four to eight leaves on them .it wasn’t even enough to fill a cup up you need to do this on a huge scale to produce enough food.
It’s definitely good enough for a little bit of fun but you cannot depend on this to produce enough food.
Could you grow peppers using this system?
I was gonna try those type of containers for an RDWC system. I bought a bunch of sterlite totes from walmart and after testing them out, my PH kept running away higher and higher until I had 10 on my ph meter and everything kept dying. I kept changing water out of these totes over and over again and the PH just keeps running away. I tried fighting it with PH down but I got tired of trying to keep the water balanced and came to a conclusion they are putting something in the plastic to keep mold and mildew out of your stored items and that is interfering with the hydro system. So I just went back to the tried and proven hempy bucket drain to waste system that works every time.
This is the reservoir for my mist king
You can basically skip the first three minutes
I need this type of jar or container. Can you plz plz tell me where I can get ( online)?
Has anyone mentioned using a screwdriver in the holes to push out the plug, and drilling backwards?
Use a screwdriver through the holes on the side of the hole saw to remove the discs. No need to remove the center bit.
use a screwdriver to pop the plastic discs out.
All you did way make people scratch their head?? Never take gardening advice from someone who works in the office. Just a box with a hole in is is hydroponics?? Zero water movement so nothing to oxygenate the water ???
just be careful biying hydroponic stuff, many people have been raided for only being seen going into a hydroponics store
how big of a container is needed to 9 plants in 9 netcups? The bigger the container the more water and nutrients you have to use for the water to reach the net cups right? Could a 10 gallon container work instead of 27 gallon?
are there any better containers than these as far as price and having a smooth lid?
Where's Waldo? I think we finally found him!
What torque for hole saw drill for plastic lid? Thanks I am new to hydroponics and drilling.
When my 1 year old decides to get into hydroponics this is the video I'm going to show her. If you are an adult you might need a pillow.
Those commander containers are great. The HDX varieties are also good. The lids are made of really thick plastic. Walmart sells bins that look similar to those sold at Lowes/Home Depot, but the plastic lid is much flimsier.
Where can u buy those bins?
Did you stop hydroponics?
What size aquarium air pump so you need for an 18 gallon tote
why does your shirt say grow or go big home.
The holes in the sides are there to shove a screwdriver in to release the waste
Finger of the trigger when messing with the saw! 😳
Thank you for taking us to your beautiful garden, with your lovely daughter, she's very sweet I remember doing the same thing with my father even though I was a little girl he still taught me martial arts and mom took me to ballet and tap, I have so many good memories and learned so much. She's going to look back with a lot of love in her heart.
the plastic should also be food safe
You could make a homemade "washer" out of some thin plastic to put between the lid and the lip of the basket if you wanted to.
Ah yes… the devils lettuce.
How far apart would you suggest planting Kale at? I am planning on using a 27 Gal container (same style as in the video) but my maths is only allowing me 4 plants per 27gal container with spacing at 12inches apart and presuming each plant is consuming 1.5gals? I maybe totally lost but what are your thoughts please?
