I know this is a long one folks but the monthly maintenance of the Rise Hydroponic System does take about 1 hour. I wanted to go into detail on how to do a partial water change and a partial garden cleaning without having to do a full deep clean, which is a lot more work (I do one of these a year. Video on this later). In this video I have steps I take to get the water changed and the partial clean done along with a lot of tips and tricks from things I have learned along the way.
Why do I do a partial water change once a month? In a nutshell, it prevents nutrient lockout in plants, which can stunt growth and it helps prevent algae and sediment build up in the system.

Just ordered my two tier Rise and already have the personal Rise. Have been researching to find trellis since the one they sell is ridiculously expensive. Can you share what you have put up in yours. I see them on the back. Kind of look familiar but can’t quite come up with what it is. 75 YO and endeavoring to make this economical. Appreciate your help. Really like your real world approach to your frustrations

@@patriciabeaulieu7553 thank you and I hope you enjoy the garden. Definitely keep it simple. I'm a teacher so I just do the basics and it's still great! No need for all the fancy stuff for sure ☺️ The trellis is "wire cube storage" that I bought on Amazon. If you search that on Amazon, they'll come up. They're a bit tricky to snap together but you can get around that with zip ties, which is what I used to attach them to the unit. I plan to make a video showing my modifications, so hopefully that'll help. I'll make that one this summer before school starts back up ☺️

I think maybe the table top model should be simpler to clean 44:25

I have that one too 😊 it's definitely a lot easier!! These larger 3 tiers are a lot of work if you want to maintain them properly. I've had people tell me they want one because they look so easy to maintain. They are but I wanted to show the realistic side of it and answer questions I've gotten before, especially in the Facebook group. I love my gardens but I don't like cleaning them 😅 haha.
