Where'd you get the square tomato cages?
I am using worm tea from my worm farm so that I am completely organic. I have just started and don’t have results yet but I see on websites that worm tea has all the required nutrients.
Hi. My name is Christine, you have a nice white fence for a great hydroponic system. Email me and I will sent you a video and some pictures if you want. You can grow 10 time vegetables.
Way overkill. You could have just had passive pipes.
Great Video. What difference would it make if you just put the air bubbler in the reservoir?
Nice small setup. Thanks for sharing. Can i use 2x 40ah used car acid battery? which is laying around my store.
I got lost with air pump water pump electric supply. how is it fitted each other? can we run fan too in that way?
If you raise the water tank up a foot or two, the system will have less head pressure and use less electricity.
Those are starting batteries. They will work for a little while, but you should use a Marine battery.
Looks great, keep up the great work.
Keep the 100 watt for overcast days.
Just put tap water in the hydro?
Do you need to sterilize. Melanie?
