I love the wallpaper idea, so simple and effective.I'm planning a doll house for my daughter now, and now it will be wallpapered!

Nice project, it gives me a few ideas!

It has been so long, I can't completely remember why I mixed them.I probably read it in a book or something.For a medium, you want the following properties:- Inert (i.e. it does't leach out into your plants / water)- Aerated: Plants breath through their roots, so you don't want something that becomes muddy and suffocates them.- Physically supports the plantsThe expanded clay balls would work fine by themselves, and they work well in a flood and drain system.I once built a system just using decorative pebbles as the medium, and it worked fine.

Have a look at the socket shape, it is Australian :)(We use 240v over here)

Oh damn that looks delicious!!

It has been quite a while since I have had this setup, so I don't know sorry.Most of the weight is in the PVC pipes, and I would guess maybe a few kilograms or so.If you are planning a build, go to a hardware shop and see how much the pipes weigh to get a better idea.Good luck!

That sounds fantastic!I love the idea of teaching children about hydroponics, I have found it has given me a greater appreciation for how plants work, and I'm sure it would spark an interest in young kids.If you do it, you should document it as an instructable, I would love to see it!Good luck!
