Introduction: Build This Solar Powered Hydroponic Water Garden on Wheels - MUST READ!
Build this amazing solar powered, completely self contained hydroponic garden and grow the largest flowers,the tastiest fruits and vegetables that you can actually live on year round. Designed for outdoor use it can just as easily be used indoors. This machine can be built in a few hours and is designed to work for years. A basic garden system can be built for less then $200.00 and most materials can be purchased from your local hardware store or I can make it and send it to you.
So what makes this system amazing? Options, Features, Low cost to own and this system really, really works. I built this system several years ago and after engineering out many failures, I am now growing non stop, year round and the results are unreal. I have harvested in the past year on the one system pictured above hundreds of Okra, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, garden beans, squash, peas. It is this success why I share this with the world.
The system pictured is made up of 4 sections:
1) The Main System includes the plant silo's, drain piping, pump, reservoirand represents a basic garden system. It is stand-alone and will grow fantastic plants. A basic system is made of the following: 11 plant silos, drain piping, reservoir, 120 volt fountain pond pump and 120 volt timer.
2) The Cart is designed to hold the plant silo/drain piping, reservoir and canopy. The cart is made to be heavy duty, can easily hold a 25 gallon reservoir and is on wheels. Being on wheels you can easily move the entire system to other locations quickly.
3) The Canopy has several functions: 1) Secures the solar panel(s) 2) Holds grow lights and/or night lights 3) Used instead of stakes to hold the plants up and 4) Depending on needs the entire system can be covered over the canopy with screen and or plastic sheeting to create a greenhouse.
4) The Electrical system can be as simple as a fountain pond pump connected to a timer plugged into wall outlet or like the system pictured: 12 volt 75 watt solar panel, 12/24 volt 30amp solar controller, 12 volt 24 hour timer(s), Self priming 12 volt 3 amp high pressure water pump, 12 volt 2 or 3 amp 500+ Gallon per hour bilge pump and 12 volt 36 amp battery
