Decide upon the length of the Hydroponic garden rows you want. I'd recommend around 3 feet. Then, cut 3 PVC pipes of the decided length. Also cut the thinnest PVC pipe around a foot long. Now, drill (Rubber Hose size) holes on 2 of the endcaps with the bottom of the hole right below the center of the endcap. Drill one hole using the approximately 3/4 inch drill bit (for the smallest PVC pipe) in the bottom the the bottom pipe. Now, drill holes using the largest diameter drill bit on one side of the 3 large PVC pipe, make sure the holes are all aligned. They should be spaced about 3-4 inches apart from each other. Attach the endcaps to the PVC pipes. Insert the smallest pipe into the corresponding hole until the pipe reaches about half-way into the tube. Seal and secure the last pipe using waterproof glue/sealant. | Decide upon the length of the Hydroponic garden rows you want. I'd recommend around 3 feet. Then, cut 3 PVC pipes of the decided length.

=====Small NFT Hydroponics System===== | |||

Hydroponics is a type of agriculture that uses no dirt, and usually results in larger, fuller plants. I recently became interested in the topic, and decided to start my own vegetable garden using the Nutrient Film Technique (NFT). It involves a channel of nutrient enriched water constantly flowing past a plant's roots. The system that I'm demonstrating here is just one example of infinitely many possibilities. Take my work and use it as inspiration for developing a system that suits you and your needs. | |||
