  • Yes this stack system is ideal for many varietys. However with yoru system what do you do about evaporation from the bottom reservoiur? and what do you do about recycling the liquid or does it just go to waste?

  • @easemailbox

    I've never noticed any run-off from the lower pots.

  • Is this a run to waste system? Or what do you do with the nutrient solution once it runs out the bottom?

    I really dig the vertical setup, nice space saving idea for smaller plants.

  • The runoff just goes into the pot at the bottom, nurturing the root vegetables.

  • Good video interesting and good space safer.

    Just a note: Using GFI might be a good idea since your working with water "outside" using electrical cords, I know because a GFI outlet save my life that way ;)

  • Thanks for the tip!!!

see all

  • very good your video , nice . thank

  • wander if you can grow peas, butter beans, and other veggies like this

  • @MyWillyboi Let me guess, you are a conservative who blames jews for all your Failures.

    Oh, I'm a christian. do not forget Jesus was or is one as well

  • Like many other comments, I am a little confused as to what happens to the nutrient solution once it reaches the bottom reservoir. Does it just sit there and evaporate? Where is the recirculating system in this?

    Everything else is great, but this point confuses me here.

    Great video though. thanks for posting

  • SHE HAS GREAT CURVES

  • weed

  • hydro has its complications for edible plants as you always have to plan for flushing so before you consume what you eat it must of been fed on plain water for at least a few days or it can taste bitter. in soil this is alot easier to plant as you are not feeding everyday but in hydro it requires more thought. This one issue i am finding problematic for edible plants like basil where its nice to pick when you need it. i need more information about flushing periods. some ppl dont even care

  • @MitzvahMom Let me guess your a jew!

  • The problems I see with this system are:

    1- Excessive water evaporation

    2- Possibility of water leaking out of the bottom reservoir

    3- 2 tanks instead of one

    4- Algae build up due to the rectangular reservoir not being covered

  • why have two resevoirs? why not just one?
