How much lettuce will a setup like this typically grow?
Hey Friend. I am truly inspired. You make it look so easy. Would you mind post a list the things that are needed to make this project. I would like to give it a go.
Also, any recommendations on seeds/soil/nutrients est. Preferably organic/non GMO.
I was planing of doing kind of same but using capillary matt and i was wondering if you know if the plan gets nutrients aswell not just water if you do this capillary system ty:)
Thank you for the great video! I was wondering if these containers are BPA and other toxic chemical free containers. How about the rockwal piece is that non-toxic? I was also wondering if you have developed a method to grow all your veggies organic in them? I am really interested in building one but only if I could grow veggies organic in them.
Is there a need to make the hole on the side of the bin? Can I go via the top of the lid near the edge so that there is no risk of leak near the gromet?
aeroponics just sprays the water at the roots. I think is sapose to make the plant grow faster. I know nasa grows potatoes in space using aeroponics. try haveing a few of the same plant on hydro an on aero to see wich system works better
theres always a even cheaper way, useing a passive hyodroponics system. like holes in a pot an natural rope going into the holes from water. but probably cant get ur fertilizer to go threw the rope an then theres algae u gota worry about
Hello W8MK, Would you be availabile to make on and then sell it?? I work all the time and really dont have time to make this system. Would you be interested in making one with all the parts included and then selling it to a customer, Please respond, i would apprecitate it either way regardless of ur answer.

Very cool and easy way to setup a system. Personally thinking about building an aeroponic system though, its not a lot different to this.

its one of best videos for sure…just a question… will the roots be always below nutrients solution? if yes, why it is needing that fines tubes?

don’t forget to clean out all those plastic drillings and sawings, or your water pump will get clogged from them :)

The captions or instructions are barely visible because the background is white as well.
