How to Set Up an Ebb and Flow DIY Hydroponics System (Flood and Drain)

August 29, 2016 by Weekend Gardener

Ebb and flow, also known as flood and drain, is one of the coolest and easiest DIY hydroponic systems to set up. They combine the benefits of hydroponics with the ease of maintenance of a raised bed garden.

I personally like to build these in a way that I can access them while standing up. In this video I give a high-level overview of how they work and how you might build one for yourself.

Ebb & flow is just one of many indoor growing techniques you can use, hydroponic or otherwise. Check out some of my other videos if you want to see more DIY hydroponic system tutorials!

How to Set Up The Kratky Hydroponics Method (Tutorial)

August 4, 2016 by Weekend Gardener

The Kratky Method was first published in a paper in 2009 by B.A. Kratky, and describes a beautiful method of growing plants in a non-circulating hydroponic system. It’s a very simple, yet effective, way to grow plants hydroponically. Great for leafy greens like lettuce, kale, spinach, and a variety of herbs.

I’ve even seen people do Kratky tomatoes or Kratky cucumbers, though I haven’t grown them myself (yet)!
