Grabbed one of these myself... Good video showing the set up. I was thinking of keeping the reservoir below the buckets to keep a lower water level but it may not be as necessary with the net pots suspending the plants. Thanks for the share!
It seems to be quite easy to use as is but I’ve modified it now and have the reservoir underneath and am using a solar pump it’s working super well. The net pots and the lids make a huge difference from the other cheaper version around..
I want to muck around with different systems with hydroponic nutrients aimed at certain plants. So plan on setting a few different systems up. Both aquaponics and hydroponics
@@paulstingrayGardening very cool I'm liking what your doing. I live in Nz and slowly setting up a aquaponics. Would you ever integrate your tropical fish tanks into your aquaponics as you have a lot of fish?
@@Worldslayer85 Lovely , I was born in wellington! I don't have a heap of NO3 in the systems and don't want to crash the GH in the bigger systems with the Mineral uptake from the plants, so I am setting up systems for the plants more than the fish.
Howdy I’m using it for tomato plants and so far it’s going well. I’ve painted the buckets as they get sunlight and that will help them last longer and reduce algae in the hydroponic solution. I’ve also swapped the pump to a solar powered pump and I have the reservoir below the other four buckets on a stand. But none of these modifications are really needed for the system to work. If you check out my last hydroponic strawberry system video halfway through you’ll see the bucket system in the cage. It’s now painted black.
Dutch bucket hydrophonics set up!
I also wanted to do this on my garden.
But I am going to make it from the scratch!
YES! I MUST MAKE SOME AS WELL!
It's super fun!
Wow,this system also looks wonderful,sir Paul 😍

Why dont you integrate it into your aquaponic system?

@@paulstingrayGardening nice. We are based in Nelson. interested to see where you go with all this.
I need to find room for a heap of adult goldfish in the next aquaponic build as well....

Hello mate and thanks for sharing? Is this system worth having it ? Do you actually using it and if so how is it going so far? Cheers
Howdy
