Koby Junior Dutch Bucket System (4)

This compact and easy to use dutch bucket system will have you growing your favorite veggies in no time.

The Dutch bucket method is a hydroponics method that allows you to grow your crops in buckets. It takes a different approach to all other systems of hydroponics in that it breaks the medium bed down into smaller buckets, and also allows you to grow larger crops which may not be possible in other mediums. These and other reasons have made the Dutch bucket system one of the most popular systems for growing a variety of vegetables.

How does a Dutch Bucket Method work?

First, the buckets need to contain some type of growth media. The media is to keep moisture and support the plants so that they can stand upright. An example of a growth media is vermiculite.

The reservoir pumps water and nutrients to each bucket. There should be drip emitters connected to the pipe and above every bucket.

Once the reservoir is switched on, it begins to pump nutrients and water to each bucket. Once the water gets to a certain level, the drain pipe drains the excess water and nutrients from the buckets.

The system comes with the following:

• Tank/ reservoir.
• Aluminium Stand for Buckets. (Attached to tank)
• 4 x Dutch Buckets.
• Pump and dripper plumbing.
• 4 x Net pots.
• 20lt Vermiculite.
• Nutrient starter pack. ( Hydroflow + Calcium Nitrate)
