Easy DIY Hydroponics. Kick the habit of traditional hydroponics which can be quite costly for the beginner. Today I show you how to start growing your own microgreens, herbs and leafy greens with out having to spend a lot of money on things like rockwool, clay pebbles, net cups, etc.
Everyone should be able to grow their own food, not just the people who can afford it. this is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to do just that. Please share this with someone who this may help. Thanks much!

Hi Mike great job very nice video, Mike can you please show how to make that solution you put in the pot. Thanks and regards
How often do you change water, or check the water?
I don't know why you stopped it. That was intense! Nerd rage!!
what is the white container that holds the water? a gutter?
video is very helpfull. and this is my aquaponics you can see at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVlXBI9gbE8
Does the rain sip in the NatSol container?
Hi,
What's your down spout hole diameter (1 – 7/8"?) vs the noodle diameter (usually 2 – 3/8"?).
Additionally, would the same technique of using 2-3 seedling per hole work, until sufficiently big enough (root size) to be transplanted into their individual holes?
Appreciate the feedback if you can, as I am setting up my own system in the Caribbean where I live.
Regards. 🙂
Where do you get the long skinny planter thing
Not criticizing. I am really enjoying your videos and ingenuity. But do you ever get concerned about using non food grade plastics with your setups? There seems to be a lot of conflicting info about it. Thanks.
What a great idea. I stumbled on your videos while looking for ideas for planters to put on a set of stair risers a neighbor gave me that I want to repurpose. I was planning on building wood window boxes. I'm going to do this instead! So much cheaper and I wanted to grow greens in them anyway so this will fit in my plan. I love the look of the modified downspouts with the tapered end and the fluted sides. They look like designer planters from a little distance. It's not until you are right up on them that you can tell they are downspouts. What length are the 5 hole ones you have here? Are these the remnant ends of the 8' ones you did to fit your railing (2')?
You are a smart guy!
`This looks so easyy even I could do it with my two black thumbs… Thaaks for this 🙂
Great as always
Like it 😉
Thanks for checking out my channel! You have two subs until 1,000! I just subbed to you 😀
Hi Mike,
Great videos. I am just starting with hydroponics. Quick question for you. When you take a new seedling and surround it with the pool noodle, you use the cut out piece to hold it in the middle, does it not suffocate and restrict the growth of the seedling as it grows into the plant. Or it is strong enough to push itself through the surrounding pool noodle?
Hey Mike! Do you grow your chard the same way? I want to get some chard going and don't know how much chard to put per nutrient solution? I read the general rule of thumb is one plant per gallon. I have a few 2 gallon buckets that I would like to use for them. Thanks man! Keep up the good work!=)
