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. | Over the course of several years and many failed experiments in creating low cost, versatile, and effective hydroponic options, this is the result.

I had started a few starts with just some moist egg cartons that I put seeds in with some paper towels over top to get starts from. From there I realized being an adult with a full time job these days and life in general happening, that I didn't always remember to add water daily. This in turn guided me to come up with a way to make the environment constantly moist where I only had to do a little bit of upkeep on it and still get healthier plants to start from seed. | |||
