with all that veg you eat how come your so fat! no disrespect

Cathy are these pots made out of plastic or foam? Second, how are these different from hydrostackers?
-
Outstanding!
-
Excellent

Do you have issues with the water from the tomato plants contaminating the water supply for all the others?

I have had fun using tower gardnes this year but they are costly. I have a 55 x 18 foot raised area I would like to convert to a hydroponics system such as yours. How many towers would use this space efficiently without crowding each other out for light? What size reservoir would you recommend for such a system? Lastly what would such a system cost me? Thank you in advance.

have you ever consider the possibility of integrate fish? an aquaponic system should supply your nutrient needs while growing up more food. Nice work!

Hi Dave I've bean doing some research for the past 2yrs on the aquaponic/hydroponics system and I just stumble into your video and am very interested in starting my own aquaponic farm Here in The Dominican Republic but I haven't yet still decide if i should do it in vertical towers or in pvc pipes lay straight which I would like to do it as you have it but do to I live in the DR. it would be much costly doing it how you have it but nevertheless either way I do it i post a video. very nice work!

Is the water recirculated or does it drain after each watering? Is each pot in a column fed by a tube coming off the main tube? Or, does the water start at the top and drain downt to the others? If so, is the nutrient level diminished by the time it gets to the bottom plants?
-
You are correct... I'm a very angry person looking for a fight. lol Thanks for remaining civil. Anyhow, I just figured DWC would make water chemistry balance easier to maintain. Recirculating would use and pollute less. However, I am quite new to this. In the process of deciding what to do myself.

The goal is higher quality life and more free time. My original statement stands true. It is not negative as it provides a better option. I see it as positive. Granted, I could've gone further into detail as to how it could help one achieve their goal, but whatever.
-
I want something like the Volksgarden. Only cheaper. I guess it can recirculate that too.
-
Recirculating DWC aquaponics is way much better than this!

This is NOT the Farm of the Future.

This is a good step away from genetic modification. Finally some good sustainable progress.

where does the water drain???
-
Hi, I live in Missouri and am very interested in how this growing system works. Around here we get some high winds, sometimes 25-30 mph gusts. Do these pots hold up to the wind or do they need additional bracing or wind breaks? Thanks.
-
Can vertical stacking be used with an aquaponics system?
-
how can you say your food is organic? you used a bunch of chemicals and salts in the hydroponic system! you should try vermiponics or aquaponics, then it would be organic. sigh.
