MY FIRST SYSTEM

I now have my first system up and running. It is a deep water culture (DWC). It is the simplest and cheapest system to build. It is nothing more than a 5 gallon bucket with a special lid that has a builtin 6" net pot. There is a 6" Sure To Grow insert and a air pump, air hose, and air stone.

Total cost. $20.80

5 gallon bucket. $2.80
Net pot lid $3.50
Sure to grow insert $4.00
Air pump $10.50
Air stone $2.00
Air hose 25' $2.50

I purchased all materials at Lowes and Walmart. The air pump has two outlets, so I am using it on two buckets. You could get a larger air pump for about $30 and use it on multiple buckets.
