you know ...its funny that i have spends weeks going into a month now trying to find out the source of these attractive resourceful and economical growing boxes to grow my lettuce or cabbages in and i have not gotten an answer until now after watching this video i was shock with the simple items and techniques used the build these boxes so am giving you three thumbs for sharing this information .... you really save me the stress of buying water pumps, pvc's etc to grow my cabbages and lettuces with a different system.
To cut the polystyrene sheet use an old steak knife or the like and heat it with a torch for 10 secs or so and run it along a strait edge as you glide it through the sheet. Literally cuts like butter and seals the foam as you cut. No mess. Same with cutting the hole for net pots. Heat up your hole saw and don't even run the drill just press through the sheet like a cookie cutter. Can't get a cleaner cut.
this is the gold standard for grow box construction. 32 inches from the wall is an easy reach for most folks. four feet of length works well for weight and plant spacing. all components work well in this configuration. have some different plant spacing foam boards for different species. simple works! thanks for your contributions!
I checked the video and gave an audible "ooohhhh..." makes sense. I really appreciate that you test the method and show the results in detail. You just can't beat a side by side comparison like that. Thank you!
You are a great teacher. You get to the point and you point out the pros and cons. You make it look so easy. When I start this project, it will be low budget.
I was hesistant about doing hydro at first. It seemed so complicated, or so I thought. After I got started, I found out that it was pretty simple. Thanks.
Wow! Thank you for your awesome videos!! For your step by step procedures, and showing everyone how they can start hydroponics at home. I think you need to start up a TV show!! Thanks again and don't stop.
Yep...they be purty ! Price wise, the totes are more costly. But if you only needed one or 2, they'd be great to sit in the house somewhere. Set one on the table and you could change the "garden to table" to just "table" !
Your videos are my ultimate favorite...you are amazing ! Thank you for all you know and share. Very informative and so nice to listen to....not boring like some others.
From what I've read, white does a better job of reflecting light than foil does. All of the commercial growers use white in there systems, so it seems to be the preferred way. Personally, in a small setup like this, I don't know that it makes much difference. Most any leafy green will do fine, and I just finished growing cabbage with this method. With enough water, you could grow lots of things. Thanks.
Thanks.The styrofoam is much easier to work with. You don't have to worry about rotting or warping like you would with a wood product. It stays very moist on the underside, so even a good coat of paint probably wouldn't hold up.
Hey Bill, I calculate the volume of water in the box, and add the appropriate amount of fertilizer. This box will have about 28 gallons of water, or 5.6 five gallon buckets. I use 10 grams of water soluble fertilizer per 5 gal bucket. So 5.6 bkts X 10 grams = 56 grams of fertilizer. Piece of cake. ;)
Yes, it's a different hydroponic method that allows the plants to do fine with the roots exposed to air. I explained it in a video a couple months ago called "Off Grid Hydroponics". It's a really cool way to do hydro. And very easy too !
Thank you for all your videos. I learn so much, appreciate the detail and explanations so that beginners like myself can truly understand from the ground up so to speak.
Thanks. I'm using a method that doesn't require aeration, and allows for good plant growth even as the water levels drop and the roots are exposed. I explained it a couple months ago in the Off-Grid Hydroponics video. It's a really cool deal. Just "set it, and forget it" !
I've ordered the net cups, fertilizer, starter cubes and seeds and I'm going to HD for the building supplies tomorrow. I'm probably a bit late but hope to get a crop of lettuce in still this Fall (in Arizona). I've watched many of your hydroponic videos and really appreciate your style. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us. You're the best!
Keith Henry If you don't get around to the greenhouse, you can plant lettuce in a bag of planting soil (poke holes on bottom and cut out a rectangle on top) and cover w a big clear plastic tote from Walmart, and of course water it. If it's winter hardy (kale etc) that should work fine.
Ohhh, THAT'S what a floating raft is! I couldn't figure it out in the Kratky videos/pix. And man that is PRETTY!!! (I love the practical, but can't not notice the aesthetics- if it's ugly it'll take away joy for me. Pretty and useful is like heaven to me - and your greenhouse is so pretty.) Well done and thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mark. This hydro stuff is much simpler than I originally thought. So I'll keep working on it. But I'm anxious to get outside in the dirt. Gonna be awhile though. Too cold, and too much mud. :)
Excellent How to Bobby. I am definitely going to try this. Thanks so much for sharing what you have learned through trial and error. it will save me about a year of ERROR and a lot of frustration. I tend to take it personally when my plants aren't happy. ;-)
Nice work! I'm pretty lucky I live close to a fish resturant, they leave the styrofoam, boxes that the fish comes in out back for people to help them selves to. They are perfect, they come in all sizes up to 8 gallons with lids that fit tight. I used them for soil till I saw your video, with the lettuce you grew, in the boxes. It's really awesome thanks.
Kenny, both are homemade. The first one is 18x40, the second is 21x 68. If you're interested in one, keep an eye on Craigslist. You can usually find a used frame and save quite a bit of money. Thanks.
Thank you for the awesome video! I will definitely follow this in creating my own boxes for the basement during the winter months. I want to continue growing veggies & so, during off-season.
You make it look too easy! Those are great boxes. I never thought to use the regular plastic I would have tried pond liner. The plastic you use is much more affordable and probably just as durable. Thanks for the great video.
awesome! Thank you very much. just started a Dutch bucket system at home thanks to your instructional videos. will also be starting this project when i have time on my hands. look forward to all your videos.my family is excited about it
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! you are very thorough while being informative. please keep this going. I am going to start my own hydroponic garden and small family business.
Oh ok cool. I have a small system I started , testing it out right ontop of my aquarium and was considering buying the reflective sided foam thinking it would be better then the plain white that I am already using. Good to know that. Thank you for responding saved me some money that I can use somewhere else now :)
I was late this year getting my Kratky plants going so I resorted to purchasing starts from the local nursery. I washed off the roots, then put them into 2 inch net pots. The problem was that the roots were all bunched up into the bottom of the pots. My solution was to cut out the very center of the bottom of the net pot with scissors leaving the plastic pieces protruding in from the sides. I wrapped the root ball with a broken rock wool cube. I was then able to insert the plant into the net pot and into the solution. The roots extending below the net pots were well into the hydroponic solution. Within a week I had awesome root growth both in the solution and on the sides of the net pot. New healthy white roots are all over the place and the plants are and happy and so am I. I did this with lettuce, kale, basil, and swiss chard. Hope this helps those that could not get their seed starts going soon enough.
Collards do much better as a fall crop. Around here, we plant them late Aug to Labor Day. And about the time they are maturing, the nights are getting colder and we get frost. The frost is needed to offset the bitterness. It does something in the leaves that makes them much sweeter. So rather than planting in the spring, I'd hold off until the fall. Thanks.
Thanks Karl. When I built my greenhouses, I was taking it step by step, never quite sure how things would turn out. Lots and lots of thinking, then a little work....and a lot more thinking. I think it turned out ok. LOL.... hot tub was my first thought as well. Dark stain, black interior...a hot tub for aphids ! :)
Hey Travis, I did a side by side test with air stones in one box. There was a difference in the growth rate. With the additional aeration, the plants did grow faster. The small air pumps don't use much electricity, so I don't think it would be a problem using them.
I just wanted to let you know that you inspired me to build a greenhouse! I have watched all of your videos and recommended them to people I know in Oklahoma. I have been gardening for a pretty good while and wanted to take the next step. I didn't know what it would be until I saw you and Misty with the greenhouses. I am doing it from scratch and with material I can find on the cheap or free. My friends call me "Cabbage" because I "cabbage onto " stuff. Thanks again and God Bless!
Hey Bobby thanks for another great video, I know Ive told ya before, Im visual person and you make it look so easy Thanks for taking the time to share..Becky
The biggest benefit to hydro is the water efficiency. It takes a lot less than soil growing. For many crops, it's faster and more productive, depending on the time of year. Mid-summer, things outside grow very fast. The production is consistent, with less variables to deal with than growing outside. I think it's a great way to grow, but I thinking playing in dirt is pretty fun too. :)
I Love your Videos,they are very detailed and you show the results.They are always my first choice.It has inspired me to do the Kratky method...............all the way from Guyana,South America.............Keep up the good work!!!!!!!
The stain does set the wood off nicely! Very professional looking and aesthetically pleasing to the eye! Smart to make the DWC smaller. Might be a good idea to somehow affix a wagon like suspension so you can move them to wherever you wanted.,
Yes sir, I am now starting all of my hydro seedlings in rockwool. I think it's a lot easier on the plants than starting in soil and then washing the roots.
The rails do a good job, and the plants do grow a little bit faster. But for simplicity and low maintenance, it's hard to beat growing in the boxes. It really is as simple as "set it and forget it".
I learned a long time ago to stop and thing first, before making any cuts. Figure out what would be left over and then make the necessary adjustments to cut down on the scrap. Low light will definitely slow down the lettuce. Once the days get longer you should be rolling.
The cinder blocks are easy to work with, just level and stack. And they are easy to move if I wanted to change the layout. With no sunlight on the plastic, it should last for a very long time. But if I were doing a growbed, with some type of media, I'd go with the pond liner. It's thicker and should hold up longer.
It really is easy ! The pond liner is pretty thick, kind of overkill for this situation. Plus, it's not something that most folks have access to. Thanks.
The closest I came to being a teacher was helping the second grade class one day when the folks wouldn't let me go on a field trip. I was in the 3rd grade, had just relocated from a more advanced school, and I was miles ahead of them. It's surprising the difference in quality of education from one school to another.
The water isn't changed. The plants grow to maturity with what is in the reservoir. And before starting a new crop, you have the option of topping off the reservoir solution, or emptying what is left and starting fresh again.
You make it look easy, Bobby. I'm going to have to try one of those set ups, sometime down the road. I have to get gutter set up, purring first. Take it easy.
I just started a couple tubs of lettuce in basement hoping for results like yours Thanks for the ideas keep up the great work and infomative how to vids. You do a great job!
Great job and I think that box is quite prutty my self.....I am in the process of planning a bigger greenhouse and plan to do some of these boxes in there...you have done a great job in teaching all of us to look beyond the traditional garden....Thanks once again Bobby....
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for taking the time to film all these step!!! I think even I can handle doing this! Gotta love that Home Depot and Lowe's can make the cuts for me though. I'm not too handy with the power tools. LOL Once we get moved to CO I'm going to give this a go along with setting up our new garden! And finally, I'm going to be getting a green house! Yaayyy! Didn't much need one down here in FL.
This is a different method of hydroponics. Aeration of the water is not required. You can grow just about anything with this method, as long as you have the reservoir sized properly. I have a couple of cabbage that are doing great with this setup.
HA! .....before you asked how we thought that looked after you trimmed the excess off.... Pretty is exactly what I thought..... if not the best then hands down some of the best DIY hydroponic videos...I'm going to try and make these boxes this coming spring...Sir, thank you for sharing and CHEERS to you and yours......
You are very likely the only gardener anybody needs to watch on TH-cam. I hope you get a tv series. Thanks for sharing and all your hard work.

Thanks appreciate it.
Thanks for such clear instructions. We are not helpless, but definitely not carpenters. I am really excited about this project.
If it looks easy, then it really is. I'm not much for a bunch of complicated stuff. I like to find the simple ways to do things. Thanks.

Comment like this is the reason i jump to comments section write after the video. i always learn new things on the comment section.

I cannot thank you ENOUGH for taking the time to do such a well detailed video of how to do all of this! Thank YOU :)

You are a great teacher. You get to the point and you point out the pros and cons. You make it look so easy. When I start this project, it will be low budget.
Thanks Steven. Good luck with the new venture. Food production is a good market.
I was hesistant about doing hydro at first. It seemed so complicated, or so I thought. After I got started, I found out that it was pretty simple. Thanks.
Wow, FL to CO... now that's a big change. Good luck with the greenhouse, I think you'll enjoy it.
This method here, from BA Kratky, is about as simple as it gets. No pumps or electricity needed. You truly do "set it and forget it".
Thanks Becky. I try to explain things in terms that I myself can understand. Keeping things simple makes the whole process easier for me. :)
Wow! Thank you for your awesome videos!! For your step by step procedures, and showing everyone how they can start hydroponics at home. I think you need to start up a TV show!! Thanks again and don't stop.
Yes sir, I've seen it twice. It's a very inspirational film.

These will give me more flexibility than the larger boxes. So now I can do some experimenting ! Thanks Brock.
Thanks. I see you're working on it now. These are very easy to build.
Man you such a simple and straight forward person! Love your videos, please keep it up..
I've ordered the net cups, fertilizer, starter cubes and seeds and I'm going to HD for the building supplies tomorrow.

You take great videos, not everyone is as knowledgeable, so, slowing down to explain everything is very friendly.

Thank you for all your teaching Vids. This one has been very informative just as your Dutch buckets tutorial video was.
Thank you. The step by step videos take longer to make, but they can be very helpful.
awesome! Thank you very much. just started a Dutch bucket system at home thanks to your instructional videos. will also be starting this project when i have time on my hands. look forward to all your videos.my family is excited about it
You must be a great teacher because even I understood all that!
Short, simple, crisp and clear.... You could make a career out of these DIY vids - absolutely premium stuff. Thumps up....:-)
These are very simple to make. Growing lettuce doesn't get much easier. Thanks.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! you are very thorough while being informative. please keep this going. I am going to start my own hydroponic garden and small family business.
Omg, thank you so much for an excellent video! You’re straight to the point, not talking about your mothers, bothers, sister done wrong cousin. 😀👍🏻
The cold weather slows everything down. But as soon as things begin to warm up, it's off to the races. Good luck across the pond. :)
Oh ok cool.

Really appreciate that you make these video's I need to do something to become more sustainable.
i love your videos! we built a double barrel stove after watching one. ithis is the perfect design to add dwc to my aquaponics system!
Yes sir, very easy to put together. Thanks.
Thanks. It should be interesting seeing how the different nutrients do on a side by side basis.

Thank you for an easy vegie bed for me to make. It makes sense to me thank you again
I love your Channel!! Thank u so very much for all the amazing informative advice you bring to my life. 💋
That was great! I love how they are attractive looking, as well. You got your thinking cap on!
The water isn't changed. The plants grow to maturity with what is in the reservoir. And before starting a new crop, you have the option of topping off the reservoir solution, or emptying what is left and starting fresh again.
Thanks Rob.
You make it look easy, Bobby. I'm going to have to try one of those set ups, sometime down the road. I have to get gutter set up, purring first. Take it easy.
Excellent video. Once my greenhouse is complete I will put a few of these boxes together.
Thanks. I use a Canon FS 200..I think. I bought it used on Amazon and it does a decent job.
I take it personally too when things don't go well. Usually it has something to do with "operator error" ! Thanks.
I just started a couple tubs of lettuce in basement hoping for results like yours Thanks for the ideas keep up the great work and infomative how to vids. You do a great job!
Thanks Tracy.
Great job and I think that box is quite prutty my self.....I am in the process of planning a bigger greenhouse and plan to do some of these boxes in there...you have done a great job in teaching all of us to look beyond the traditional garden....Thanks once again Bobby....
Great as always Bobby. Very impressed. I am itching to get my seeds started again. Hopefully this weekend.
Thanks for posting this excellent instructional video and look forward to the updates.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for taking the time to film all these step!!! I think even I can handle doing this! Gotta love that Home Depot and Lowe's can make the cuts for me though.

I like the reverse idea for the hole saw
