RE: Hydroponic Garden Setup - Drain Pipe Nutrient Film Method - Maker Challenge No.2 - Unofficial Entry

in #gardening6 years ago (edited)

Thanks - nutrient film is one of the 6 main types of hydroponic systems. I've seen it done with rain pipes, but when I saw these 4 inch PVC pipes at the hardware store, I had to have them :) When I built the system a few years ago, i designed it to fit in the sun room of the house. I wanted a lot of growing capacity, only wanted to use 1 pump, and wanted it on a stand so I wouldn't have to bend over too tend the plants - the basic design was born. I'll be using this in a greenhouse - less worry about greenhouse bugs with no dirt as well :)

Sounds like it was meticulously planned! Inspiring.
