___________________________________________________________

For the Hydroponics system we decided to try and use as many recycled materials that wepossible could to help keep the cost down on the project. The recycled materials that we used are as follows:

– Old bed frame (to make the table, and legs of the system)
– Pond liner (used to line the inside of the wood to increase the lifespan)
– Plexiglass ( will be used to hold the rockwool in place)
– Rubbermaid container ( used to house the pump and nutrients below the table)
– 1/2″ nylon tubing (allow water to drain into base)
