www.learninghydro.org A redesigned fitting appears in this video. The flood drain cycle ( ebb / flo ) requires this fitting. To see how to make this input / output fitting, go to: www.youtube.com The fitting and hydroponic rocks make a PVC pipe into a self-contained hydroponic garden. In this video, I convert a section of PVC pipe into a linear hydroponic garden for a balcony, walkway, or fence. Fill the large diameter pipe with hydroponic rocks, then water with a drip system or pumped flow. Chipped brick or rock wool can also be used. The interior of the pipe creates a closed space for roots. The upper curve of the pipe protects the roots from light and air. The length of a single pipe can be twenty feet. A scrap drain pipe can reduce the cost of the project to less than 0 including the pump. Go to the website hydrosuppliers.com for the hydroponic components, the local plumbing shop for the PVC and fittings.
