Hydroponics Gardening

by

Clive

Back to Thumbnails.

This is my basic set up with rubber maid containers. I have cut holes in the lids to hold the different sizes of basket pots. First container on the left has 2 beefsteak tomatoes in it. The second has eggplant, bell pepper and 2 cyan pepper plants. The third is  cyan peppers. the forth is lemon basil, parsley, tarragon, and of course a cyan pepper, and the last container is 2 Roma tomatoes.

The panel over the plants is a solar panel putting out 30 watts and it is connected to a car battery and an inverter with a built in battery that provides enough power to run off the grid, but I have a back up that will kick in if the power gets too low. I run one pump for 5 minutes every hour from 6 am to 11 pm then at 1 am and 3 am. The air pump runs 24/7.

Some photos of the garden growing.

Some photos of the parts and assembly method of the system.
