Thank you!

How much do you think all of this costs in total?? Just incase you do remember.

@shawszaa

Depending on where you source your materials it can be done for a range of 35.00 to 55.00 American. It cost me about 35.00, but I bought the pumps whole sale online.

drilling your spaghetti hole, why not down the middle in stead on the sides? Less visible, cleaner looking on the top & under the lid.

@MountainTopSolar

That is a good suggestion!

@sanchezhector28 The 'rocks' are Hydroton, they're made of clay. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil. As demonstrated, the seedlings would first be grown in rock wool, then transferred into the net pots, with hydroton added around the rock wool/seedlings.

@shawszaa

It depends, but I'll take a stab

My guess:

water pump: $15

tote: $6

air pump w/air stone: $12

net pots: $4

There's probably <$10 worth of drip equipment and hoses and hydroton being used, but you might have to spend $30-$40 because that stuff is often sold in bulk quantity.
