That’s super cool! I tell ya, I still really love the buckets with the holes on the side, because they don’t have to be under a roof or in a greenhouse, they can be stacked 3-4 high and be out in the rain.
As an elementary school garden teacher, I’ve followed your channel and your creative methods of hydroponic gardening for over a year. Many of the things you’ve shown I’ve turned into classes for the kids which allowed them to grow indoors in our cold winters without soil and minimal upkeep which makes my life much easier. This year however, I did a little digging on the different types of plastic that are safe or unsafe to grow food in. I’ve chosen to continue to grow hydroponically with only #5 plastics as those seem to be the most food safe, as they hold up under warmer temperatures under grow lights or outdoors during hot days without leaching chemicals into the nutrient water. PVC pipe is particularly toxic and I was shocked after the research I did on the various plastic codes, as I almost built a grow tower out of PVC myself. PVC is considered #3 plastic which contains various toxins such as dioxins and many more, and is quite harmful to the environment. While I love the originality behind your hydroponic designs, I would invite you to do some research on the plastic resin codes and what that could mean for growing plants meant to be consumed in different types of plastic such as PVC. #2 HDPE containers are also often used especially by kratky hydroponic gardeners, but most people don’t know that these are fluorinated in the production process to make them more durable with an unfortunate side effect: high levels of PFAS contamination. Each type of plastic has its own safety drawbacks besides #5 with regards to gardening and food production. This information isn’t meant to criticize, only to inform because most people simply don’t know the risks of using various plastics to garden, especially with regard to temperature and nutrient water potentially stripping more chemicals from the plastics into the water. In conclusion I have greatly enjoyed your videos and have used them many times to educate myself and they have helped to create an outstanding kratky hydroponic program for the younger kids at my school. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you.
