recently i was looking for an easy DIY setup to try hydroponics and decided to try out the Ron's Garden plans i had found....his original plans, as many of you are aware, use 2-liter bottles filled with grow rocks as your containers/cups....the original plan is also for an 11 plant garden that will fit in a 2' x 3' area....wanting to utilize the most out of my 4' x 4' are i had a pretty good idea and gave it a try....and it worked very easily....my idea was to replace 3 of the T's with 4-way's and basically mirrow the design....i've attached a pic so you can tell what i mean....the 2 T's close together act as the grow site and drain tube outlet and you can tell where i put the hose inlet....the entire unit, with a 35ga rubbermaid reservoir, cost right at 40 bux to build....the most expensive part will obviously be the pump and my buddy at Texas Hydroponics recommends at least a 633gph....enjoy and let me know what ya'll think....and just in case your wondering the conduit clamps are to mount it to my sawhorses and the hose clamp was for a T that i didn't notice was cracked....
