In this video, I am building a Hydroponic system using pvc pipe. This system will allow me to grow fresh greens and herbs year round. With the cost of food going up, and even the availability of certain foods, this system will ensure my family and I will be able to have access to fresh greens at an affordable cost.
I also will build a shelving unit for the system using 2x4’s. I have seen some people use PVC pipe for the shelf, but at this time in my area, 2x4’s are more affordable and I believe they will be stronger as well.
Things I used in this video
