Ideas like this in our overpriced world are great appreciated.

This is a great build, but there's important information afterwards that you've left out. My guess is you're going to run this a quasi dutch bucket/aeroponics setup, where the water is pumped to the plants periodically and they stay in net cups (which we see, for example, at 9:29. You could easily run it as NFT, but again, the plants are in net cups. For those that aren't familiar with hydroponics, the building of the system is only the first step and you should include a follow up video showing it actually being used.

Thanks a span Kevin. Material, measurements and tools , to be used well explained.

a shopping list would have been awesome!

Advisable to get food safe, non toxic UPVC tubing (not PVC) which is unplasticised PVC. Also use aquarium grade silicon glue to seal pipes as is non toxic.

By a country Mile - this is the best video of its kind out there. Thank you so much and agree with others, a list of items needed would be fantastic

Fantastic video thank you

Fantastic! Very clever xxx

hi Kevin would be nice to have a shopping list added description, video is well done thou

Thank you very much

Really nice and attractive design. I would copy this but make a change to the water levels, they are a little high, I would move those drain ports as low as possible to not keep so much stagnant water in the tubes, more like a true spec NFT, keyword "Film"

if you wanted more oxygen saturation in your water allow the return line to break the water surface in the main tank. Also if the public doesn't know, you're using a #4 possidrive bit on your cordless drill for the wood screws

thanks for sharing your project sir

great tut big up

very well explained❤❤

Awesome instructional video! Thank you! Couple questions: Could the entire length of 110mm pipes have been used for a bigger system? Also, how did you calculate the system capacity?.. Thanks again

Best video ever 2024

im doing a prodject i find it very helpful.

Lovely

Why doesn't builders sell projects as it is? Like package the projects ready to assemble please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I'm combining my aquaponics system with hydroponic towers😊

beautiful, except the vinyl tube should be black, not clear.

Que tal buenos dias ...podrás compartir las dimensiones del producto

I am trying to build this system in the USA. I can’t locate the 400 liter per hour Rhino pump used in the video. No other company seems to have a pump with dimensions that will fit into the 4” pipe. Also, I am using imperial dimensions of 4” for the pipes and 0.75” for the connections. thoughts?

Nice video no need for fall in the large pvc pipe water will still flow and hold water either way

I will definitely buy. Please add shopping list.

I am very keen on making one of these hydroponic gardens. Please can someone email me the breakdown of the cost of materials. My husband may have some of the materials in his garage so a breakdown would be appreciated. Thank you.

Does the water run continuous or is it on a timer?? I’m picking up 4 inch PVC tomorrow I have reserved, then put it together as that was the last piece needed. Can’t find any 4 inch here on the island. Thanks. I’ll post a picture once I’m done

not to fancy, not to big, jus right...mahalo plenty = ty very much

For people asking for a shopping list, here's what you'll need: 1. Store-bought trestle (wooden frame) 2. Four 1-meter lengths of 110mm PVC pipe 3. Eight gutter brackets 4. Packet of 5x25mm wood screws 5. Three 2-meter lengths of 110mm PVC pipe (to be cut into four 1-meter pieces) 6. Nine 110mm PVC end caps 7. One 110mm PVC T-piece 8. Length of 20mm electrical conduit piping 9. Six 20mm 90-degree bends 10. Six 20mm male screw adapters 11. PVC weld (glue) 12. Clear tubing (for pump connection) 13. Submersible water feature pump (400 liters per hour, 0.9 meters head) 14. Nutrifeed hydroponic fertilizer Tools mentioned: 1. Drill driver with Phillips bit 2. Tape measure 3. Pencil 4. Spirit level 5. Hacksaw 6. 64mm hole saw (for drill) 7. Small piece of sandpaper 8. Utility knife 9. 19mm spade bit (for drill) 10. Pipe cutters Optional: - Paint and primer (if you want to treat the wooden trestle) - Vacuum cleaner (for cleanup)

Hello, dear friend. I like your beautiful videos. I would like to learn this method. I have a suitable place, I have plenty of water, but where do I start, please guide me, thank you❤❤❤

Did you just add the plants with dirt straight into the holes or are those in sponges?

Good info. You did not mention the containers that you plant in that are placed in the holes. What are their size, and are they available at Builders.

What water pump is recommended ?

You need a bigger water reservoir with head space in case of a power outage. In your design, water will spill everywhere if there is loss of power.

Good video but you forgot to paint the bottom of the trestle. That's the part that will rot quickest

What in the length and breadth of stand

why use soil as a medium? lava rock would be best for pest reduction.

Can you connect this without gluing? This strikes me as something that will need to be cleaned every now and again

Your 19 mm drill bit is equal to 3/4 inch but the end piece you use to thread into the end of the cap should be drilled out to 1 inch not 3/4 inch at least here in Canada. Also the size of the holes you drilled for the cups is equal to 2 1/2 inches, yet I can not find any cups 2 1/2 inches, only 2 inch or 3 inch. I'm also still waiting to hear from you regarding the water if it is to run continuously or set for a certain time of on and off. Thanks again.

Hi how are you all doing I live in a rain rainy rainy area I like the PVC design and the materials used as well however for as long as that plastic has a shelf life of over five years I really don’t think that The wooden frame will hold up. I’ve seen similar designs here and by the way if you had a dry area and if it’s under a roof disregard this comment I referred you outdoor hydroponics thank you

I'm concerned about root rot. Even when the pump is off the tubes are still going to be pretty full, roots soaked 24/7. Does it ever drain?

By the way if you drill a 2 1/2 inch hole you won’t fit your net cups in them. The hole needs to be 3 inches in order for the net cups to sit deep and properly for the water to reach the bottom of the net cups. At least in my world. Sad you haven’t responded.

The res is a bit small but looks good

Can u build me one or where can I buy it

how often do you change the water in the tank/system?

Can you build one for me?

I thought the gutter brackets were his shoes.

I wish you showed the measurements in inches. I had to stop it every time and convert.

Should add a proper drawing & an Isometric easier to Understand

Heres another dilemma to ponder, when you have to change the water with the solution in it, how do you empty it. The outlet for each hole in the tubes sit above the upper half of the tube making it difficult to fully drain the water. I think you'll need to put in some drain plugs in each tube. Also the tube just before the reservoir doesn't fill properly when the pump is on. It does not allow enough water to rise up and reach the bottom of the net cups. The water flows back into the reservoir then gets pumped back up to the top tube and then follows down each tube until it gets back to the tube just before the reservoir, these seem to work. When the pump is off the water fills up the tube just before the reservoir making it really only a bigger reservoir for the water to sit and wait until the pump turns on to move the water again eliminating that tube to grow anything. At least this is what I am experiencing and since you don't return messages I find this is more of a trial and error. If your going to post videos on how to build projects, you should spend more time explaining, you are after all Professionals, YES ? hmmmm

Desculpa so falar DE fagar My Portuguese is little week. I love your post but battle to follow 😅

Do you guys even Google before you make a video?

The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: "the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left".

its Gutter not GATTER

This is a bad design. It wouldn't take much to make it a much better design though, and it wouldn't use anything extra.
