N4RF’s PET-project part 2

9:20 am in Getting Started by Kristian Nordtømme

 

Hi

So I’ve started my garden build. I have gathered a few of the  “ingredients”  and started preparing them. so far I got my 5 gallon flask to use as my reservoir and a few bottles to use for housing the plants. The bottles were drilled through the bottom with a 2.5 inch drill bit to allow water to flow from the top most bottle all way down to the reservoir. When that was done I cut out an opening at the bottles’ sides to let the basket with plants to be inserted and my plants to be harvested.

As you can see from the picts the whole process were quite simple.
