Hydroponic: Difference between revisions

Line 272:

This set of instructions will give you a basic idea of how I put my ebb and flow hydroponics system together and how you can create your own. I wasn't thinking of putting these instructions online initially, so I apologize for a lack of pictures of a few of the smaller details. However, I'm here to help if you have any questions.

As an experiment, I planted two of the same types of a few plants in soil the same time as in this system. The growth rate of the plants in my system is almost double that of the plants in soil. Yay for happy feelings of self-accomplishment!

=====Hydroponics Setup on Wheels=====

Over the course of several years and many failed experiments in creating low cost, versatile, and effective hydroponic options, this is the result. Using fairly common components, it is possible to create a hydroponics setup on wheels that can be configured to meet a plethora of hydroponic options, and stay relatively compact. By sandwiching several of these rolling setups together, it is possible to simply slide out one at a time to work on your plants. This can effectively double or triple the growing space in a very small area. Using less than 10 square feet of my basement utility room, I can grow enough vegetables to keep myself in hot peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, herbs, and other vegetables year round. When supplemented in the Spring and Summer with crops my deck container garden, I don't have to buy vegetables or herbs at the store at all, and I can trade at the farmer's markets for variety.
