We are going to learn how to build a DWC system with items found at your local hardware store. This type of system is a great starting point for anyone looking to get into hydroponics as it has no real moving parts, is cheap, and lends itself to producing outstanding results. Plus it's fun and easy to build yourself.
This is a front-to-back tutorial that will help someone completely new to hydroponics build a compact DWC system for the purpose of growing small plants such as lettuce, spinach, basil (or any herbs) etc. we are going to teach you how to build your own DWC system, pH correct your water, and then add nutrients to your system. We will also cover how to properly aerate the water so that the roots get the right mix of food, water, and oxygen that they need to thrive.
This workshop brought to you in partnership with and through a grant awarded by the Greater New Haven Green Fund. Thank You GNHGF!!
