Absolutely the best, clearest and most concise instructions of all! A+. Thank you.
I just bought my first 10 bucket system. Can't wait to set it up! Especially with this great video!! Thanks, Randy!!
Where did you get your system? How is it working?
Very informative, simple to understand, great sense of humor
Purrrfect, simple & easy to understand! Thank you
A 60-yr-old grandmother here. Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge. Love them all. My son is helping me setting up the system according to your videos. Done subscribing😁.
Full course coming soon. From nothing to harvest and even food storage and preparation. Thanks for watching.
Don't spend no money you don't need to man that earned you my subscription
...the system on the patio is great too...or smaller group too...thanks for the easy to understand info...
Glad it was helpful!
I know this is an older video, but after watching it, I ordered this 10 bucket kit. This kit is awesome and very well thought out even with great directions! Thanks
Thanks. New videos soon. This is the best system we have found after 20 years of testing.
that was the most well explained video i found on the dutch bucket system ,, thank you for the video
Great stuff to know, thank you for sharing!
Great idea men..be blessed
Great work..
Thank you very much
Great how to video Randy! Could not have been any easier to understand or complete.
I had a chance to see this system in action and it works fantastically! I'm already working on a mini system for my small balcony.
thank you for making this video. been looking for an easier way to start my aqua-culture/ponics setup. this is the way I wanna go for a start. Liked and subbed
Full aqua-culture video soon. I designed used this system for over 6 years with great success. Thanks for watching.
@@greenhousesolutions1074 got the bell so will be waiting for that video thank you
very cool mr rick (and morty) I enjoyed watching it
Great video!
best video i seen on this .
Thanks
Very nice ideas, I like that
Thank you so much for your perfect demo. May God bless you.
Awesome video !
Thanks!
Fantastic video. Keep it real
Precise yet informative. Thanks. Would be great and help from you, if you also show
1) Transplanting the plants to buckets
2) how you monitor & control ph and temp of nutrient solution inside main reservior and doing top up.
After posting above:
Ahhhhh, part 2 explains much of what i asked. Just watched.
Thanks.
We will be covering these and more in our "QUICK TIPS" video section. Thanks for you input.
Excellent video well demonstrated ,
So when can I get my kit , JC your next GP.
Thank you
(mhpgardener) This is the man that made these back in 2012
We have been doing this for more than 20 years. Hydroponics and Aquaponics. We were asked to do TH-cam videos just a couple of years ago. There is nothing new under the sun. Thanks
good job
Min 4:18 i saw BACK TO THE FUTURE 😂😂😂 good job Doc
Damn, wish I can find those squared buckets here in Italy... Awesome video, cheers!
We finally got it up thank you so much for helping us get started can't wait to add on lol. I don't have enough buckets yet
is the machine watering the vegetables/fruits automatic ?
also i would like to know the name of the stuff that you put into the bucket. thank you
He Said perlite however u ant gotta have it
How's it doing these days?
Correct. Many things work. Video on grow media soon.
Nicely explained. I also have a diy video on 5 gallon dutch bucket with all the parts required for anyone interested.
Ooo would have loved the rest of the conversation about pump timing that got cut off at 16:40ish!
i like this guy :D
You can cut a black plastic sheet to fit on top of the pearlite with a hole for the irrigation tubing and the plant stem if you want to inhibit algae growth.
Yes, but be aware of the extra heat generated. Thanks
nice video
فيديو رائع
Didn't have a truck he said
Haha
Should have seen me carrying two 10' pieces of PVC across Odessa Texas on my Kawasaki ninja 636!
🤙
Making things happen bro, great video.
Love it!!!!
Hello, I like you videos. My question deals with a plant in just perlite,, how does the water wick up from the pot to the roots of the plant?
Again I, and I'm sure many others, would really like to know how you clean and store the perlite in between growing seasons.
thank you!
Since we have year round growing in our greenhouses, we do not ever need to store our perlite. Will check with some of our clients to see what they have done in the past few years.
great video, thanks much. GREAT prices for parts at his website, make sure you check it out.
if you lift the water reservoir high enough. you can gravity feed it to the plants by drilling a hole in the container lower than the top of the water and put in a valve. open the valve three times a day and your done. you could even put in a solenoid to open the valve three times a day or have a power valve. so you could do it without the pump. just a thought.
Would work if you don't want to save and recirculate the water.
Dear Sir, Thank you for the presentation. My question is whether there are plant nutrition programs in hydroponics, such as peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, where I could get a plant nutrition program, and which fertilizer to use. Thank you
Hydroponic cultivation in Dutch greenhouses maximizes crop yield per square meter
Good 👍👍👍❤️
Do you have a link or a better description of the netting that you are using in the bucket at the 6.22 minute mark?
I get buckets from Tops Supermarket Bakery they are food grade of course...I am new to your channel and I just subscribed
Great info. Thanks
Ooh my finger lmao that got me!
Great Great Job. Is there any way that you can tell me the name of the nutrient that you use?
You can open top of the bag and wash it right in there, just poke a couple holes in the bottom of the bag. You can save the water for next bag if you do it in a tub or somethin like that in size.
Just makes the transfer to the buckets a little heavy, but would work.
@@greenhousesolutions1074 wash it in the bag and let it set overnight to drain out the water
Were you buy kits @ ? Hose sizes type were to buy?
Subbed
ricola got me
Thanks for the precisely explained video with clarity on construction. It would be better to add some more information on the nutrients used, watering interval and what all crops that can be successfully grown. Any other substitute can be used in place of Perlite?
See our other videos on nutrients. New video on grow medium coming soon with options to perlite as well. Thanks
What is white staff he put in the bucket ? How does water flow from bucket into the pipe ?
hey buddy, it's very hard to find per-lite in my city here in Thailand. What's the next best alternative? Great video, Thanks
pea sized gravel, coconut husk(coco coir), and a mix. Anything that can allow water to drain and yet hold moisture.
Thanks for the question.
Am from the Caribbean t&t am interested in your kit
Truly helpful video. Unfortunately, I'm not in the States, otherwise I would have ordered your kit yesterday (literally, as I watched this last night :-)).
Question: what are the insert nets for? Cleaning/replacing the Perlite? Or just to prevent the outlet from clogging? If it is the latter, one could cover that outlet (pipe) with some smaller pieces of netting only? (because so far, I can't source those nets locally).
Yes. the main reason is to keep the outlet from clogging. The secondary reason is it easier to move and take out to clean if ever needed. Thanks for watching. Video on options for grow medium coming soon.
@greenhouse solutions are you still actively selling systems? i posted a question and have not heard from you. thanks
Really nice to see that you guys watch MHP gardener and did a cheap remake of his video from many years ago.
Are you required to buy food guide buckets or normal buckets ok?
You should put the link to your store in the description. For convenience and because I didn't decide your store was worth checking out till I was in the middle of the video.
EDIT: The black and yellow bucket isn't food grade is it?
Thanks, will do. New to TH-cam.
Anyone use ABS as opposed to PVC for the drain pipe? I've got access to a lot of ABS scrap.
DO you have more details on the pump you use volts/hz feed rate ? thanks
Eco921 is the pump used
You can see the box if you look close enough 🧐
any tips on keeping the net from being sucked into the overflow and restricting water drainage
Rarely have a problem if inside elbow is facing down and you don't push down youe grow media in the bag after it is in the bucket. If the problem persists, a little 3/4-1" gravel in the bottom of the bucket will do it.
Great video , I have a question: You say 1" hole 3/4 grommet and 1/2 pipe, the math over here does not add up well, can you tell me in more detail please.
The 1 inch hole (1.1"works even better) is needed for the 3/4" grommet (Outside diameter is 1"). The outside diameter of the the 1/2" pvc is the inside diameter of the 3/4"grommet.
Hope that helped.
Great video. Nice work atmosphere. I would love to work on your farm. Too bad I'm in Canada.
The dad jokes are fun
I try!
how do you clean and store your perlite from the dutch buckets in-between growing. I live in Ohio and do my dutch buckets outside so after the growing season I have to do something with it before winter comes. I started with 60 buckets last year with great success and I have moved up to 228 buckets this year. I saw that one guy soaks his paint strainers with the perlite in a mild bleach water, then rinses it, lets it dry, then dumps the perlite into 55 gallon plastic drums then next season dumps back into each bucket with strainer. Does this sound about right to you? or do you have an easier method? Thank you for your time!
That would work fine. We grow all year and tested some perlite that has not been changed for years and new perlite. no difference. We do disinfect every 6 months or so with H2O2. Video on that soon.
Where did you get your bag of perlite and about how much did it cost? Great video btw.
Cost is around $5/cubic foot. Try feed stores or garden supply stores.
Is this only for a greenhouse? If you set this up out in the open how do you avoid flooding the system when it rains?
This is being done outside as well, The buckets will not flood since they continually drain. The 27 gallon bin can over flow from the rain, but just check your TDS (nutrient level) and adjust if needed. See the nutrient TH-cam video. Thanks
I live in the High Desert. I read that water temp is critical. how do you keep the water temp. cool?
2 possibilities:
1. Dig your water reservoir into the ground for some geo-thermal insulation.
2. Set up a mini evaporative cooler for your water tank.
What are the nutrients? Are they organics?
question if you added some fish to your resivor or say i tapped into my fish pond would that be aquaponics and work? just trying to think of a cheap hydroponic way to grow without buying nutrients all the time. Idk can someone please explain a little if it wouldn't work? I really want to build a aquaponic system
I will have a complete aquaponics video out soon. Been doing that successfully for 7 years. Sometimes fish upkeep can be more expensive than using the Masterblend nutrients. You can add fish, but be careful not to add too many too fast - would cause an ammonia spike and kill the fish. Everything will be explained in the video. Thanks
also what size perlite bag do we need for 5 buckets? also any recommendation on where to buy and about what price is good?
about 2 cubic feet for 5. $5/ cubic foot is a good price.
is the machine watering the vegetables/fruits automatic ?
also i would like to know the name of the stuff that you put into the bucket. thank you
Yes it is automatic - pump and a timer. The stuff in the buckets is perlite. Just one of a few things you can use. A new video on different grow media coming soon. Thanks
How many hours a day should the pump running to watering the plant? Can we stop the pumpsuring night time?
So you hook the the black hose up to the pump?
Yes
how many gallons is the reservoir ?
an how many gallons of nutrient solution do you need to start it off
We use inexpensive 27 gallon totes.
Why did you use 3/4 grommet on a 1/2 pvc, is it the correct size?
Yes. Outside diameter of 1/2" pvc perfect with 3/4" grommet.
#pleaseassist ..hello , i practice hydroponic farming where i grow tomatoes..planting medium is pumice..can you please help with the ratios of nutrients required at different stages of growth in tomato plants ie. seedling stage, flowering stage and fruiting stage...your advice will really help.
Using the Masterblend ratios is great for all stages. The plant will use everything it needs at it's different stages. If you want to back off the Calcium nitrate to half through fruiting that would be fine, but the plants continue to grow and produce well for 2 years. So that being said, the plant is actually in all stages. Thanks, Randy You can get the best price on Masterblend nutrient packs at www.CompleteGrowing.com
সুন্দর
I live in south Mississippi. Can this system work outside in the weather?
Mostly yes. Would need to cover in freezes and partial shade in summer.
How big was that bag of perlite you used?
4 cubic feet
Where do you get the nets to hold the perlite?
We just got in 10,000. $1 each. Still figuring out best (most economical) way to ship. will be available at www.CompleteGrowing.com Thanks
Just curious, wouldn't it be easier and more cost effective to use large bins (troughs) instead of a bunch of separate buckets?
Depends what you're going to grow and what space you have to do it. Can mix many different types of container/system together. The fun is in it's scalability. Gets a bit addictive!
You actually use less media in the separate containers, and also have more control. I do some of my root crops in larger containers. Thanks
I looked all over Menard's home page and could NOT find THESE Buckets.
I want to start growing water, and please, I want the best ingredients for the nutrient solution for each stage of plant growth
The best all round nutrient for just about everything is the Masterbend nutrient pack. Go to www.CompleteGrowing.com for the best price around.
You can't grow water 🤦♂️
Lol
Do you use an air stone in your rez?
No, but the more oxygen the better. The water that flows into the rez is above the top of the water creating air as it drops in.
What medium we could use other than perlite?
New video on grow medium coming soon. Coco coir, clay pellets, washed small gravel, Pros and cons will be discussed, but all or even mixes will work. Thanks for your question.
do you need to determine that the slump tank needs to be able to hold all the water from all the buckets in case pump failure, so you don't get overflow in the slump tank?
No. You start with a full nutrient (slump) tank and then turn on the pump. Never more water than the system can handle. We use a timer to turn on and off the pump anyway.
Thanks
@@greenhousesolutions1074 that means your additional water is added at the slump tank? if the system is outside (not in greenhouse), rain could be added to the system which could over flood the slump tank?
Yes. Rain outside can overflow tank if not protected. If outside, I keep the tank at 1/2 full. Thanks
Drill a hole in bucket and zip tie
Yep. many options. Thanks
What is the size of your feeder line into the bucket? I have tried to different pumps and am only able to get my water go about 6 feet even when my pumps say the can go 25 feet, any thoughts on how I can get it to go to my last bucket?
Use reducers on your first few buckets (1/8 inch) 1/2 inch main line, 1/4" feeders.
@@greenhousesolutions1074 I'm having the same issue with my last two buckets not getting water...just a small gurgle. Are these reducers hises or plugs? Do you have them or do I get them at hardware store? Thanks.
where do i buy this system i need a 15 bucket system, i want to run 5 each with it on tote and pump
Did you get an answer? Where do we buy the system?
www.completegrowing.com Yes he got the system and he sent me pics. Amazing results - of course.
Where can we buy all this things for Hydrophonic buckets ? (dutch bucket)
www.CompleteGrowing.com Will also have square buckets soon.
are the nets that go in the buckets paint strainers or what?
Yes. They work great and are readily available. We just got in 20,000 to keep the price down.
¡ahh jijo del bollo!!
what do you charge for buckets if want to order those from you
We are having square 4 gallon buckets made since they are hard to find at a decent price. ETA end of July. Price will be around $5. Thanks
Where can I buy the complete system?
www.CompleteGreenhouse.com has everything you need.
Suggest the kits because shipping buckets, PVC pipe and perlite can be expensive.
Manard's is the best followed by stores like LOWES to purchase buckets and PVC. Feed stores or garden supply stores usually carry perlite.
If you just want the convenience and not worried about the shipping, Complete Greenhouse does have everything.
can that be used for taters and tuber stuff
Yes, have grown root crops just to see if it works. (it did) I prefer grow much of that with other methods (videos coming) and save my buckets for other things. Thanks
Very much a beginner question here but, my bucket is filling up with water and not draining well. There’s a puddle of perlite in the center. My pump is working at its lowest setting possible… what can I do?
Create some space at the outlet drain of the bucket. A little bit of large gravel or pieces of pvc at the bottom can help.Perlite might be too fine and not allowing to drain correctly.
@@rplatow4120 yup that’s all it was. How embarrassing 🙈. Appreciate it
Hi, do you have the proLite for sale too. If yes what are the prices
Yes, but shipping is way too high because of the size. We sell locally at $27 for a 4cubic foot bag.
Hi where to buy the package for 10bucket pieces..?
10 bucket parts kits are available at www.CompleteGrowing.com Thanks
How do you make sure all the buckets get a similar flow of water? I just finished my build and for some reason there are some buckets that receive little to no flow of water.
Use an adapter T between buckets. This evens the flow. 1/2" for main T and 1/4"x1/2"x1/4" T between buckets. Minimum of 270GPH pump.
@@rplatow4120 Thank you, I am currently using a 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 T adapter. So maybe I need to change the exit to the bucket to be lower diameter? Or the other way around: lower diameter in the entry and output that goes to the next bucket and higher diameter to the output that goes to the plant ?
@@elnimrod The1/4" feeds the bucket.
