Talent and genius
Too good
How many gph is that pump?
Now get yourself an aquarium that you send the water through. Send the dirty pond water to the plants and then filter the water coming back. Plants will grow way faster
I usually see PVC pipe used for gardening projects.
Is there any danger of plastic leaching into the water, over a certain time frame? Is there an expectation to replace any of the pieces in the next 10 years?
Hey sam can you come build mine? 😊
Pretty good idea. I actually had the same idea. But you'll see that the pipes will get clogged by the roots over time. That’s the reason why normal hydroponic systems are vertical.
This is absolutely amazing buddy.🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
The initial startup is expensive. But good over time
Im going to do this!!!
This was my first thought for building my hydropowertic system. And then I realized I lived in florida, the iguana's will have a buffet, and the squirrels will have a bath. And i will waste money on seeds
How does it run at night
Sewer drain pipe thin wall is cheapest way to do this i think?
Nice
Pvc forever chemicals

Indians in upper management plus constant pressure to deliver investor returns.
This is a great build. How much did this all cost?
This is the best video on how to do this
Australia?
While it does grow plants, you failed to mention the high risk of pollutants that can be absorbed by the plants in an outdoor PVC system.
PVC can leach chemicals into water when exposed to sunlight, particularly through UV-induced degradation and heat. Sunlight accelerates photodegradation, making the plastic brittle and causing it to release harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), additives like phthalates, and microplastic particles into water.
It has been proven thru multiple studies that plants absorb microplastics thru their roots and store them in their tissue (leaves and fruit).
You sure that wall can bear the weight of all those pipes and water without falling over? Water is heavy. Was that wall made to bear that weight? Your neighbour is probably not going to be very happy with you wrecking the wall.
