Hydoponic garden - Gravity feed

Step 4 Plant Pots

I used clear plastic disposable drinking cups for my plant pots.

>> improvement = constant diameter small tubes pots - the cups I use are tapered and you need to work out how far in they sit in order to cut the holes)<<

Step a)
Place a piece of wood inside the cup to support the plastic to prevent it cracking, and secure in vice.
Step b)
Use ideally a drill press (or a drill ) and drill a 8-10mm hole in the centre of the base, and 3 in the lower side above the base.( this may take trial and error so make sure you buy a good number - they crack easily) (fig.08)

Essentially you can use any small pot for this purpose so long as it has holes in the base as described. Plants in hydro set ups dont need large root areas as the food is right at their front door.
