Free System Plans
Simply Hydroponics and Organics has put
together a collection of plans for several simple hydroponic systems. These are perfect
for novices who would like to experiment with hydroponics and don't want to lay out a lot
of money for larger systems.
The following are basic plans of simple systems that you can build
out of readily available materials. These systems may not be sophisticated but they can
work very well.
Remember that when you are using these or any hydroponic system,
you must use a hydroponic fertilizer (hydroponic fertilizers contain Micro-nutrients that
are vital to the health of you plants, regular plant foods don't normally contain
micro-nutrients). You must also control the pH of your nutrient solution (pH is very
important to plant health).

HAND-WATERED BUCKET - Sounds
simple and it is! The beauty of this system is it's simplicity. This easy to build and
very inexpensive hydroponic system works great and can be easily automated if you desire.

WATER CULTURE SYSTEM -
Another simple yet productive system. Very popular for the classroom. This is the method
of choice for growing "Bibb" type (loose leaf) lettuce.
|
 |
EBB & FLOW SYSTEM - This
system is getting a bit more sophisticated but is still easy and inexpensive to build and
maintain.
