+WakeUpB4uDie I actually will shortly. I didn’t like how the water spray
worked so Im working on a redesign of that part. Running some tests now and
will have a follow up video soon.?
Is an ellipse necessary? wouldn’t a three inch round hole in the bottom om
your elliptical pipe allow for root growth and nourishment? what crops will
grow in this space? great instructional video! thanks for exploring!?
See if I can answer some of your questions.
– Yes they are cut at 45 degrees
– Post stands up fine in the bucket
– On larger pump, it may not fit in the bucket with the post over it
– the pipe pieces are gluon ON to the post. Make sure you line up with the
bottom of the hole.
– I just use the clay balls, no soil?
That is awesome!!!! I sure wish I was handy like this because I had to pay
around $45 a month to get anything similar! (Tower Garden) Someday I may
try this so thanks for sharing. ?
I’m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about diy aquaponics
system plans try Tarbetti Amazing Aquaponics Tutor (just google it ) ? Ive
heard some great things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.?
I just wonder if it is necessary to run the pump so often. If you put grow
medium inside especially something that can hold a lot of water. Is it
possible to just drench it with water once in awhile without a pump? ?
Thankyou for the illustration! I appreciate your generosity to share
knowledge. I will try it following your great example!!!?
Excellent video. I am just starting mine and I built a box for a four inch
cutoff and the 45 degree cut with a hand saw. I first used some carburetor
cleaner and took off all the markings on the pipe.Thank You for posting
this excellent video.?
nice video spacing and transition! someone spent some time on this!?
Put a goldfish in the bucket to produce fertilizer for the tower?
Hey there. Nice build. Is there an update? Also I am confused on the
“pyramid top”. Did you buy two and cut one? Can you please clarify? ?
Just wanted to thank you! great information.?
Using all four sides, do you rotate the assembly so that all plants get
equal sun? What were the results? Thanks.?
the upside down actually made my brain hurt… Also random thought… If
you were to open up an area in your yard to make a sort of pond that could
fit a few of these towers in them and then filled the pond with fish… It
would make for a great looking Aquaponics system?
+HydroponicsIsCool did you update your system? what kind leafy green you
tried? is the grow tower get lighting problem? ?
Nice work but the shaky and moving video makes me wants to puke. Hmm…this
is good if I want to go on a diet. Watch shaky video :D?
Hi Jeff! I’m trying to get into hydroponic gardening on the cheap and I
found your tutorial to be one of the best and easiest around. I’m very new
to gardening in general, so re: your advice about tomatoes and small roots
systems – can chicken wire or a cage be used to accommodate for vine-y
plans (such as tomatoes and cucumbers), and can roots systems be regularly
pruned on larger plants without harming them so as to keep the inside of
the garden clear for the “rainfall?”
I love your website, by the way! Thanks in advance for any help!?
The issue with hydroponics is you have to buy “plant food” or nutrition and
supplements that can be high-priced.?
Good instructions. ?
Qualified gardener is not blessed, but with the suitable tool and proven
method.?
WHAT PUMP DID YOU END UP USING? DID YOU TRY A DC PUMP??
Just wanted to thank you! Excellent information and excellent videos.?
How did you make the top for nutrient distribution?
Nicely done , however I like the aeroponics for bigger yeild with less
usseless plant material and faster yield time too. Again however ot has no
remorse for mistakes.?
Why couldn’t you use the same type of cement used when installing pvc pipes
and fittings together? Wouldn’t it actually melt the parts together? ?
