greenhouse complete hydroponic dutch bucket system for growing tomato
A Dutch Bucket system is one that uses “buckets” to hold an absorbent growing medium that larger vining plants can root into, which provides an affordable, waterproof way to repeatedly deliver nutrients to that medium, and can be easily re-positioned for ideal arrangement.
Dutch Bucket/Bato Bucket Systems:
1. Require a bucket per 2-4 plants, and are better-suited for vining plants that yield large fruit, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, etc. 2. Rely heavily on greenhouse support structure, such as adjustable horizontal and vertical trellis lines 3. Generally utilize a centrally located reservoir for storing nutrient solution, which is sometimes part of a recirculation system, that can be conveniently pumped anywhere
