Building a Home Hydroponic Rail System

A full build and set up for our DIY indoor hydroponic rail system for growing lettuce in our home. We use square PVC fence posts for the rails and continually circulate water through the rails - sort of a hybrid between a NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) and DWC (Deep Water Culture) hydroponic system. This is a fairly simple and easy project for beginners! We've updated this design slightly since making this video. The connections are simpler and don't require PVC glue. We have a free guide to building this system on our website: www.simplegreenshydroponics.com Why Hydroponics? -Indoor garden year-round! -No dirt means it's clean! Very little mess -No dirt = no e-coli bacteria, no salmonella, no lettuce recalls! -Uses less water than traditional gardening -Access to fresh produce anytime -Healthy hobby!
