DIY | How To Build Your Own Hydroponics System.
Even if you don’t have space in your garden for a veggie patch, this hydroponics DIY will have vegetables growing on a balcony or veranda. Follow Kevin as he explains all the steps. With a few hand tools and materials from your local Builders, you can build your own to grow your own.
I’m combining my aquaponics system with hydroponic towers😊
Thank you very much
Good video but you forgot to paint the bottom of the trestle. That’s the part that will rot quickest
I wish you showed the measurements in inches. I had to stop it every time and convert.
For beginners that are handy, this is a good way to dip your toes. That said, the design is flawed and I wouldn’t recommend it.
1) The reservoir is too small and water will spill if and when the pump is off.
2) The ports are too high meaning that the water level is a little high for an NFT system.
3) The system is glued together and cannot be taken apart to be cleaned which is necessary from time to time.
4) The bottom pipe holds little water due to the design. This means it is only useable when the plants have long roots . Additionally, when the pump is off it converts to a holding tank and overspill.
This is a bad design. It wouldn’t take much to make it a much better design though, and it wouldn’t use anything extra.
Fantastic! Very clever xxx
You need a bigger water reservoir with head space in case of a power outage. In your design, water will spill everywhere if there is loss of power.

Your video gave me so much confidence to try hydroponics myself. I’ve also shared my own experiences on the topic on my channel, would love any feedback! ⏰
a shopping list would have been awesome!
Lovely
What in the length and breadth of stand
thanks for sharing your project sir
Hi how are you all doing I live in a rain rainy rainy area I like the PVC design and the materials used as well however for as long as that plastic has a shelf life of over five years I really don’t think that The wooden frame will hold up. I’ve seen similar designs here and by the way if you had a dry area and if it’s under a roof disregard this comment I referred you outdoor hydroponics thank you
This is a great build, but there’s important information afterwards that you’ve left out. My guess is you’re going to run this a quasi dutch bucket/aeroponics setup, where the water is pumped to the plants periodically and they stay in net cups (which we see, for example, at 9:29. You could easily run it as NFT, but again, the plants are in net cups. For those that aren’t familiar with hydroponics, the building of the system is only the first step and you should include a follow up video showing it actually being used.
Can u build me one or where can I buy it
The res is a bit small but looks good
How much does the whole build cost ??
Desculpa so falar DE fagar
My Portuguese is little week. I love your post but battle to follow 😅
Did you just add the plants with dirt straight into the holes or are those in sponges?
Whatever you grow there will have no flavour because it has no nutritional value. This is a nazis way of growing plants
What water pump is recommended ?
beautiful, except the vinyl tube should be black, not clear.
I’m concerned about root rot. Even when the pump is off the tubes are still going to be pretty full, roots soaked 24/7. Does it ever drain?
Hello, dear friend. I like your beautiful videos. I would like to learn this method. I have a suitable place, I have plenty of water, but where do I start, please guide me, thank you❤❤❤
not to fancy, not to big, jus right…mahalo plenty = ty very much
great tut big up
I am trying to build this system in the USA. I can’t locate the 400 liter per hour Rhino pump used in the video. No other company seems to have a pump with dimensions that will fit into the 4” pipe. Also, I am using imperial dimensions of 4” for the pipes and 0.75” for the connections. thoughts?
it is a nice starter setup but root rot will be an issue, the water should drain through the system when the pump is off and for that, there would need to be a bigger reservoir with the pump on a timer.
its Gutter not GATTER
Can you build one for me?
Really nice and attractive design. I would copy this but make a change to the water levels, they are a little high, I would move those drain ports as low as possible to not keep so much stagnant water in the tubes, more like a true spec NFT, keyword "Film"
There is no such thing as fertiliser without pesticides. This is really stupid and an evil way of growing plants just for profits..
Que tal buenos dias …podrás compartir las dimensiones del producto
how often do you change the water in the tank/system?
very well explained❤❤
Awesome instructional video! Thank you!
Couple questions:
Could the entire length of 110mm pipes have been used for a bigger system?
Also, how did you calculate the system capacity?..
Thanks again
By a country Mile – this is the best video of its kind out there. Thank you so much and agree with others, a list of items needed would be fantastic
For people asking for a shopping list, here’s what you’ll need:
1. Store-bought trestle (wooden frame)
2. Four 1-meter lengths of 110mm PVC pipe
3. Eight gutter brackets
4. Packet of 5x25mm wood screws
5. Three 2-meter lengths of 110mm PVC pipe (to be cut into four 1-meter pieces)
6. Nine 110mm PVC end caps
7. One 110mm PVC T-piece
8. Length of 20mm electrical conduit piping
9. Six 20mm 90-degree bends
10. Six 20mm male screw adapters
11. PVC weld (glue)
12. Clear tubing (for pump connection)
13. Submersible water feature pump (400 liters per hour, 0.9 meters head)
14. Nutrifeed hydroponic fertilizer
Tools mentioned:
1. Drill driver with Phillips bit
2. Tape measure
3. Pencil
4. Spirit level
5. Hacksaw
6. 64mm hole saw (for drill)
7. Small piece of sandpaper
8. Utility knife
9. 19mm spade bit (for drill)
10. Pipe cutters
Optional:
– Paint and primer (if you want to treat the wooden trestle)
– Vacuum cleaner (for cleanup)
The corporate fascist world lost the plot a long time ago
why use soil as a medium? lava rock would be best for pest reduction.
Good❤
im doing a prodject i find it very helpful.
Do you guys even Google before you make a video?
Best video ever 2024
I thought the gutter brackets were his shoes.
Nice video no need for fall in the large pvc pipe water will still flow and hold water either way
Ideas like this in our overpriced world are great appreciated.
Advisable to get food safe, non toxic UPVC tubing (not PVC) which is unplasticised PVC. Also use aquarium grade silicon glue to seal pipes as is non toxic.
