I have built something similar and I used autopot piping so it has an in line filter which is easily cleaned. Your other option is to supply your piping from your sump which would have cleaner water so fewer blockages.
Hello Mr Porta, I noticed that you still have a raft bed in your system. I am designing my first set up and don't think I have room in my greenhouse for both raft AND grow towers. which do you recommend if it is an either/or situation?
Really appreciate it Don!!
Aside for the very useful and inspiring info of your vifeos i want to express my admiration to the serene and very understandable presentation of your 'patents' making it easily comprehensive to people english isn't native; a standing salute to a guy with a great portion of Ulesses in his veins!
I started using pool noodles too about 4 months ago on a whim… I will never buy another net pot… soooo much easier and cheaper… thanks for the vids, learning a lot of very good info. keep it up.
Is that white-fly that I see on the strawberries? How are you controlling them if it is?

Hey donald what water pump do you use to push the water to all of the towers?
Love your videos!
Hi Donald, Why you put holes in one side of the tubes? why you didn't use the other side too? Thanks
Thank you Donald
Hey there sir, I'm new to this and am in my "study up" phase before I jump in and start. I was curious how you add nutrients to the water in such a large setup. Is all the nutrients taken care from your pond? Thanks a bunch!
Hello Donald, thank you for sharing the videos. They are very helpful. I just wanted to know the reason you have stuffed the towers with what appears to be hay/straw. Is it to filter the fish waste solids? Is it necessary even if I am doing hydroponics only without fish involved? I thank you for your time!
Excellent project; I am tempted to do the same to grow strawberries. A couple of questions: Is there another medium in place of straw that would be just as effective. Also, what nutrients do you use and in what ppm strength, and lastly what PH level is best for strawberries? Thanks
good job
So are you saying that the hose (that enters the top of the tower) gets clogged without a "sprinkler head" on it? You then mounted it exterior so you could monitor it. This is all with filtering? I am confused. How is it getting clogged?
Did you have any problems with the towers leaking and dripping out?
I have learned so much from your videos! You have great ideas! Thank you so much! Please keep them coming!!!
JUST SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR SIGHT HADNT SEEN THIS VIDEO YET THATS WHY I POSTED ABOUT THE STRAW GOING THROUGH THE SYSTEM
