Learn how to build a hydroponic grow wall in todays video!
We installed a Hydroponic Grow Wall inside our farm house this week! This grow wall is designed to grow 34 plants every 30 days. That means My family will be able to harvest salad greens and herbs year round from the system!
This can save a family a lot of money over the years! The system is only about 0 in materials, and will pay for itself in just a few months.
It is made of very simple materials, and took us half a day to install with help from Jonathan from Fairfield County Hydroponics – http://fairfieldcountyhydroponics.com/

In my opinion, the idea of hydroponics does not fit with homesteading, heres why, hydroponics uses nutrient solutions wich are unsustainable to make, and the idea of homesteading is all about sustainability. Instead you can do aquaponics.
This is a bad design. Mist systems are must better. Roots not need to be submerged, they just need to be moist and have nutrients. Great idea, but needs a lot of improvement. Also for $500 ARE YOU SERIOUS? The pvc and lights cost maybe $100 unless you buy from someone who is charging 200+% markup ….
What are you planning on growing?
That's his 3rd appearance on your channel.
What do you plan to plant? Also, do you put soil in the net pots?
Love the fact that your kids were involved in the build!
That's good stuff! Will you be posting an update video on what you are growing???
are your grow pipes level or slightly slanted?
Hi y'all. We just subed because we are in the family milk cow-laboration with you and want to support your channel.
Awesome. What water did you use?
Oh all I could see is the danger from leeks right on top that switch ☹️ love hydroponics used it for years but please move that lower pipe down 4" away from the switch
Do you put anything into the water?
Really cool setup. What all will you be growing?
how do you stop the moisture from getting into your electric system, where the switches are at and the outlet below, along with mold.
Would this work in a basement? Our basement is not heated or cooled. We are in Tennessee.
How to the plants get their nutrients?
The cool thing about growing inside in winter is it gives one a little hope and eases depression
Jonathan! What a great system!
My favorite video so far in 2018! This brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
