Super easy DIY Dutch Bucket setup with old, leftover materials: terracotta pots and film canisters!
I was recently given a bunch of used terracotta pots and decided to pair them with old film canisters to make a simple, expandable dutch bucket system to add to my DIY hydroponic setup.
You probably have the materials laying around to make one yourself, give it a shot! The reservoir depth will be based on how far down the canister you drill – I go about halfway for the 0.75-1 gall pots. Any tubing can be used if you don’t have drip line. Any mesh synthetic (no cotton) material can be substituted for the shade cloth.
