RGGS is how we converted an old 1800sqft cement house foundation into garden space. 10 years and still growing strong with it. We grow everything in the RGGS except potatoes & asparagus. Love the end pieces for your pipe. What a difference the bucket adapter stands would make. We often move the buckets around at the beginning & end of season. And the mounted stands would prevent that net cup from being pushed into the bucket. We started with pvc pipe & have since moved that run to my mothers. Ours is the open rain gutters 16-10 ft runs. 10 years on this system and we are still in love with it. Thank you Larry Hall.

If you don't want water to leak between the adaptor and the buckets you should glue with circles of glue rather than a spiral. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

After you drill the pilot hole with the hole saw, flip the drill into reverse. It cuts fine in plastic and keeps the hole saw from grabbing on the plastic and makes for smoother holes especially on curved surfaces.

@accidentallyfasting5768 3 года назад

I put together the last gutter system and it's doing great, but I don't like having everything set in place like this AND on larger containers those cups are impossible to line up without help. I worked around this by using a variation of the tote system you did a while back, and I like it a TON better. I have a float valve in the bottom of a tote, then cut up the lid of the tote so it sits on three pots inside the tote. I line it with garden fabric and fill w/ cocoperlite. I can move my totes, have a valve before each one in case I need to perform maintenance, and am doing the 'pot in pot' in some of them. Really saved materials and trouble. My gutter started leaking as well, so I'm just stuck with massive totes sitting on it and no proper way to fix it because the roots have grown into the gutter. Self Contained Tote Gravity System FTW. (Just a note, I call it the "Wick in a Box" system.)

im a gutter guy but pipes work good i guess as they enclose the water by design. i have to make aluminum flashing caps with my brake to cover mine. i use a single bucket with a float that feeds all the gutters, just need to make sure that everything is the exact same level of the float bucket so the water stays equalized between it all.

Hi mate, great video as usual, heaps of info and well presented. I have a question thou, I understand the bases you glue to the buckets are printed, but are they printed with the net cups in one run or you print net cups separately and then attach them to the stands? Is water absorbed entirely by the buckets and therefore you need a floatvalve or it is circulating that is why you use that piece of a hose and a tap on the other side of the pipe??? Thanks for sharing!

@Hoocho 3 года назад

The net cups are printed as part of the base. And the end is just to drain when replenishing the nutrient in the pipe if needed.

@Optamizm 3 года назад

From my understanding, wicking doesn't waterlog roots as long as you have a medium that doesn't hold too much water. The perlite/coco coir is actually great for wicking. The coco coir wicks the water, but the perlite stops it holding too much. So yes, I think this would be great for lots of different plants.

Hi I'm a slow learner here I'm still trying to understand this system .I see the difference with the kratky method of hydroponic.i saw the Dutch bucket too .Now these are my questions. Where do you drain out the water nutrients, I thought it will be like the Dutch bucket, a circular system. I'm very new with the kratky method, I'm just searching to discover different SYSTEMS of hydroponic. When you put a seedling in the perlite bucket and the net cup is all the way down ,then does the plant survive by the time its roots to the water in the gutter.im watching but I'm puzzled.i see no hose in the top like in the Dutch bucket hydroponic. Ok I will keep on watching. I want to do mini gutter hydroponic to grow beets ,or raddish ,or CARROTS. Is it doable in this gutter type system.thank you for your video, I got to understand the Dutch bucket from your videos but I'm puzzled with the gutter,but I'm watching.

An observation and suggested improvement for hoocho's rain gutter bucket 3D design. As much as I like the concept I see some flaws: * Its single purpose. * Way too much filament and print time due to its unitary construction. Here would be my ideal arrangement: * One bucket can be used for dutch bucket AND rain gutter. * Filament use reduced, hence cost reduced. * Production could be increased of the part. * Could be made with common plumbing parts for those lacking a 3D printer. Here is the proposal: * Four parts: ** The base as currently designed but no net cup and the balance reduced to a rim like structure for the sole purpose of supporting the bucket. ** Suitable uniseal to fit the hole in the bucket and seal it. ** A 3D printed drain. Approx 400mm in length. At the 200mm mark a wider shoulder that will seal against the uniseal. 200mm below the shoulder is solid tube. The 200mm above the shoulder is perforated tube in the 150mm to 200mm zone. ** a cap to loosely fit over the drain when needed. Construction: * Glue base to the bucket. * Insert uniseal to the bucket hole. * Insert drain solid up in the bucket or perforated up in the bucket depending on desired operation of the bucket. Use: * Rain Gutter mode, perforated end is face down into the source nutrient in the gutter. Add medium. * Dutch Bucket mode, solid end is face down into the outflow drain. Loose cap is placed over perforated end if one is using perlite only to minimize damage to nutrient pump of loose particles. Add medium. Its simple, dual purpose use for the main structure by just flipping the drain assembly as needed. The link is just a very rough concept diagram. ITS NOT SUITABLE FOR PRINT. It lacks the drain holes and is just a outline solid. I leave it to someone with a better 3D skill set to finish it off. drive.google.com/file/d/1wdkh5PBvkPzTo9BdOcWdrKQtJ4n3UiI3/view?usp=sharing
