![]() Ok I saw this idea researching aquaponics.
I love this idea using 5 gallon buckets it keeps you from bending over so much. Low weeds and self-watering very low cost. Make sure you use a RV lead free hose if you do self-watering. |

![]() This system is much like the auto pot system. The main difference, besides the obvious, is the fill valve. The auto pot system has a valve that lets the trough draw down mire before refill. With a clean water supply, these rigs are pretty much zero maintenance all grow season. Just add nutrients to the top when pruning or harvesting plants.
I have used a rig just like this for starting cuttings and seeds. I cut strips of xps to float in the gutters, then just cut holes in the xps the size of whatever. Works like magic. |
