  I live in a flat but wanted a way to grow some herbs and plants for cooking. I had a small window box in which i grew a handful of herbs but wanted more and for it to be a bit easier to take care of. because the pots were small they require daily watering but were often neglected.

=====How to Build a Home Hydroponics System=====
[https://www.instructables.com/Home-Hydroponics-Setup/ by tombuss2000 in Workshop AUTODESK Instructables]
I show you how I set up my hydroponics system, and the parts needed, the tools used and where I bought them. I am no expert in the Hydroponics field, but I am quite happy to share anything I have learned with you here.
We will look at the lighting, the cooling system, a few safety features, timers, and the basic grow chamber (where the growing takes place).
