Dutch Bucket hydroponic system is designed for growing vine crops- tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and peppers. Dutch barrels, also known as HL planting barrels, are available in beige and black colors, with a white top cover and a unique design structure, which is more conducive to the growth of plant roots. The top cover can block light and prevent algae reproduction. The bottom siphon drainage device allows excess nutrient solution to flow back to the nutrient solution pool. There is a 5cm aquifer at the bottom, which is suitable for growing tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, eggplants and other fruits and vegetables.
Our system design staggers the hydroponic buckets along a PVC drain line that is pre-drilled on 16" centers. This configuration can be custom drilled for different crops, which require more or less space. The hydroponic buckets are also reusable which can make them a money saver over disposable grow bags. Included with each bucket are two "elbows" that allow for a small reservoir of the freshest nutrients to pool in the bottom of the bucket. These elbows are designed to allow excess nutrient solution to drain away while preventing root growth from clogging the drain line.
