    I’m in Bangkok, Thailand (Real heat here everyday all year long).

    To reduce temperature during the hot day, you may bury your water tanking
    underground or increase size of your water tank. Another way to reduce
    heat is to increase water draining and circulate speed.?

    Nice work! A possible work around for your over powered pump: use the pump
    to fill an elevated bucket/reservoir and let gravity feed the drip lines
    from the elevated bucket. It’d be like your own personal water tower.?

    Very nice, What is the frequency of watering, is there any sprinkler nozzle
    inside the bucket, after how much time pump will start up to how much
    duration,

    Have you installed a timer for pump?

    Inam very newer , just started, I think ,You should cover your reservoir
    and you can insulate your tank with thermocol/sponge from sides and bottom,
    also need to cover plants with polythene and green cloth ?

    I believe that the situation of your project is increasing your temperature
    problems.
    Your wall stores heat from the sun and transfers it back to the plant and
    you have the same problem with your concrete ground heating up the water in
    the water tank.
    Have you tried placing insulation between the water tank and the ground,
    maybe paint the water tank in white?
    Neat project anyway. ;)?

    How about putting a white painted trellis over your system? This would
    still allow enough light in to your plants but cool everything down. Also
    condider painting that black tote white.?

    check out Bobby’s (mhpgardener) video. he gives the Grainger stock # for
    those grommets. if you have one locally you can pick up there, otherwise
    the shipping is more than the grommet. It is good to develop local
    resources also. congrats on your baby coming.?

    Thank for the video and the trips. The hydroponic “bug” bit me and
    currently I have 5 x 4 months old elephant garlic plants which I am going
    to transplant into the dutch bucket system or my variation of it. For
    “Plant food” or nutrients I will buy some liquid “fish poo” at the local
    nursery and see if it works. ?

    Thank you for your post, real nice video with good information. I have a
    question: Where can I get the White Bucket? and it is safe for food growing?
    Thank you again
    Orlando?

    I live in Phoenix and my reservoir is buried with only 2″ above ground. The
    top of the reservoir is covered with a hinged white wooden lid. I’m using 3
    gallon black bato buckets (12 each, I didn’t think to get free buckets)
    which I have enclosed within a white plywood top and sides (open at the
    bottom with holes cut for the buckets) to keep the sun off the buckets and
    to keep the roots dark. I use 5-gallon paint strainer bags in the buckets
    and fill them with perlite, no inserts. The system works well until about
    June and I don’t care what you put in the reservoir to keep the water cool,
    some plants like tomatoes do not produce well above 90 degrees. I totally
    agree with having a larger reservoir. Keep the sun off your reservoir and
    the sides of your buckets and you should do fine.?

    Here in South Florida I have the same Heat issues. There are several ways
    to get around it. First is to only grow in the Months with R. Or just the
    reverse of the North that grows in summer only. That is what I am doing
    now. Shade Cloth is very popular with Commercial Farmers because it does
    cut out some heat but also Sun light for growing. Finally water coolers
    work great but are expensive. I am in the Process of trying to build my own
    water cooler using a small up right Freezer and RV anti Freeze in a closed
    loop system. Hopefully by cooling my water, my plant can survive the heat.
