Check this out. I think this could work for many people that grow outside and live in the dessert. Makes watering an easy chore and you would not need much to do this. Great idea.

Comments????

I just might try something like that this summer on my deck at camp.
It might alleviate some worry when I know I won't be there for a couple of day's.

I was going to try a 5 gallon bucket with perlite/reservoir at the bottom then potting soil the rest of the way for Eggplants. Cool system I imagine a DIY-er could build something like that for any sort of cultivation. Thanks for the inspiration! Peace.

well i have seen similar system buckets but these been sized for flowers, these are for a full grown plant. the feeding tube is a nice gadget on this

maybe we can copy this design for a little DIY action: a big rubbermaid container as theirs, piece of garden house as feeding tube, 2 conventional soil containers fitted into the lid with wicks to draw the water up - pretty much done

done something similar indoors as i was playing around with some clones i had left. Took a 5 gallon bucket, filed a potato mash sack with about 3 gallons of expanded clay pellets. On that i dumped enough perlite to fill the thing and then planted the dozen jiffy clones into the perlite bed and let them flower. with that set up the bucket would stay moist for about a week on a gallon of water as the clones grown to a foot height in flower.

Love to see pics of that Green. If you follow the link there is a pdf file that You can save and has all the plans for this. It would be very easy to do for all kinds of growing circumstances.

Peace

wow that looks cool. you could even bury those boxes and just have the feeding tube coming up above the ground. definitely a good item for DIY too :-). im going to try this summer

It's a great idea for even in the north east part of the country, I want a few

hey, that the idea - bury the things and they are out of side and don't get heated up by the sun that way

I did not see a price on them but I think I will just try to build my own this summer. Great find though gave me a lot of ideas.

jangel · #13 (**permalink**) 04-21-2009, 06:28 PM

If you read the first page, it shows them making them them selves. And how easy it is too.

Now, where I stole this from the gentleman stated that he thought this would be perfect for a scrog. Now think about that guys!

Peace

Yep! Ready-made scrogmobile!

Just needs wheels and a motor.

Thanks SomeDude, I saved that pdf file so I can start one of these soon.

Jangel, Scrog is exactly what I was thinking about doing. Thought about building one for a inside cabinet also.

jangel · #19 (**permalink**) 04-22-2009, 09:16 AM

Whoever builds one of these, please post the pics for all of us to see how you do it? It could help many that way.

Peace
