The drip emitters are fixed to the irrigation line and are pointed to each bucket to feed the plants. There is one large bucket/reservoir that holds water and nutrients.ДЄ submersible pump is placed into this reservoir to pump the nutrients onto the drip/irrigation line and drop onto the plants via the drip emitters. These buckets must contain growing media (perlite, vermiculite, etc) to keep the moisture, aeration as well as supporting plants to stand upright. Each bucket should only accommodate one plant. How does the Dutch Bucket work?ДЇirst, you would notice that there are several buckets on the bench.

It can be used asВ a Hydroponic system, and also works great for aquaponics as well even though it is harder to set up. It differs in the way it looks, but still, operates on the same principle вЂ“ the nutrient is forced onto the bucket (that replaces the tray) then automatically drain back to the reservoir (or it can drain out of the system without returning to the reservoir) at regular intervals. ThatвЂ™s the joy of an easy yet still versatile Hydroponic method.Дutch Bucket is a variation of the Ebb and flow(or Flood and Drain) method. The system can have just one bucket or scale to any size growers want. There is another type that is really easy to build, able to scale big, and can fit a great number of plants.Дutch Bucket or Bato Bucket systems, as the name sounds, use the buckets as the core of this growing method. And best of all, we can build an easy home-made food production system for our family.ДЇor simple DIY home-made systems, you can go with the Kratky method, but it is not built for larger gardens and is not suitable for bushy, fruiting plants. You can be creative to set up one yourself and let it run for months with just some maintenance and checking.

One of the main reasons I choose to go with Hydroponics is its control, flexibility and low-maintenance.
