This guide is based on our personal experience growing in our specific environment in Zone 8a. Results will vary depending on your water quality, climate, lighting, and setup. Use this as a foundation and adjust to your space.

This build involves water and electricity. Always follow proper safety precautions. Full safety guidance is included throughout the guide.

Not all plastic bins are created equal. We include guidance on what to look for when sourcing food-safe bins locally — this is not a one-size-fits-all recommendation and not all bins are made from food-safe plastics.

Your results may vary. Plant growth and system performance depend on many factors outside of our control including environment, water quality, plant variety, and user assembly. This guide offers a framework — not a guarantee.
