Hydroponics and aquaponics are the future of food production which we can
all start doing at home to increase local resilience and save a loads of
money too.?
This is amazing and I see there are soooo many options and ideas from the
comment thread. Thank you for sharing yours, from Food Abundance. I just
“remodeled” my “traditional” garden with raised beds and it’s all an
experiment. I learned a lot from this first go-round in #NorCal . H/T +Julia
Hull for sharing this link with me!! #Garden #DIYgarden #GardenProject

The NFT system can really save you a lot of space with this sort of
vertical growing.?
you mentioned “ants” & with the losses of Honey Bees in the USA, I think
any small insect that can help to pollinate can be
helpful in giving us better produce…?? I’m no expert but it kinda makes
since to me, is all….? peace?
I’d just like to know how 34 people could thumbs down this video! I
thought it was great. Keep it up!?
This plant growing structure is awesome! I only have one question. Why is
the pump and collection tank on the side opposite of the top water feed??
What happens when it rains? Does it influence the concentration of the
nutrients in the feeding fluid.??
i love this setup did you build it yourself?
Much of the taste of food comes from the soil it grows in. By growing it in
water, it will miss taste. Nice project.?
Hi, I wanted to say thanks for sharing all your info and design ideas of
your system. I have a couple questions for you if you don’t mind.
( 1 ) If I understand correctly there is nothing inside the white pvc pipe
except water that continualy flows from the holding tank, pumped up to the
top and slowly flows down to the holding tank once again.
( 2 ) How do you start the new seeds or ( already germinated seeds that
are sprouted )so they reach the water that flows down the pipe? Are the
mesh pockets deep enough to reach the bottom of the white pvc pipe?
( 3 ) Did you find it easier to sprinkle seeds into the rock/clay media and
let them take off by themselves or germinate the seed to the point they
break the seed open, and start to grow , then put them into the mesh
pockets filled with grow media.
( 4 ) Do you clean out your entire system after the summer grow months or
did you enclose your project in a makeshift greenhouse and use it all
year. This is what I am thiking of doing using grow lights , a heater for
the water and also use fish as a source of food for the plants.
I am really sorry for the book of questions I asked. I am on disability and
have been trying to soak up all the info I can so that I avoid any
pitfalls that might cost money. Once again, thank you so much for your time
and sharing all of your info/ideas for everyone. I will subscribe to your
channel and check back in a few days .
Thanks , Robbie?
alli want to do is have vegetables growing in winter,seems impossible,.?
Where can I buy the mycelium and what’s name of the species of mycelium
that you used. Also how do you apply the mycelium to the system? ?
thanks for the free instructions above?
Did u make that set up or buy it kuz I’m in NY n I’m gonna start mimes
indoor n that’ll b perfect?
not a video its a picture ?
The disadvantage of hydroponics is you have to shop for “plant food” or
nutrients and supplements that are costly.?
Great idea! Thanks for posting!?
Great setup you have there. I’m doing some research for my own system and I
think I’m going to copy yours, I hope you don’t mind 🙂 What size net pots
do you use.?
could you use live fish in this system?
This is great. I really apresiate you sharing this. I been looking fir a
proyect like this and this is perfect. Must apreciated?
pvc is bad for your health use high-density polyethylene (PE) as an
alternative if you want to avoid cancer. ?
How much does the pipe run.
thinking about doing this on the fence instead of going around the pole it
drops to
the next level?
How much did this cost you to build, and how much does it cost to maintain
just the equipment? How much does it cost you to use plant food and how
often do you put plant food in the water? ?
Thanks for this, I’m hoping to build my own next weekend. Two questions:
1. Do you run the system 24/7?
2. Do you aerate the reservoir??
Time for me to start on this. I should be able to grow all my Favs.?
