Outdoor Hydroponics By TECHNiNE of hAk/d. Released : 07-31-94
|
|
|
|
A unit can be made on site using mostly found materials. First, a hole is
|
|
dug which holds a minimum of 5 gallons of water. It is lined with 6 or 8 mm
|
|
polyethylene or similar watertight material. 6 or 8 pieces of nylon woven
|
|
cord about 3/8" thick are strung along the walls of the hole from bottom to
|
|
top leaving an extra foot at the top. These will serve as wicks to bring
|
|
water to the plant roots.
|
|
|
|
The hole is about half filled with a combination of lava or gravel and
|
|
wood chips. The top half is filled with 5 parts or lava gravel or wood
|
|
chips mixed with one part finely chopped compost, good quality loam or
|
|
vermiculite (available at garden shops). This mixture will hold enough mois-
|
|
ture for the roots, even on hot sunny days. Lay the extra length of wicks on
|
|
top of the filled hole.
|
|
|
|
Next, make a mixture of one part lava, gravel or wood chips with one part
|
|
loam and pile it at least 8" over the top of the filled hole. It may be
|
|
easier to hold the pile in place using a small frame such as bricks or rocks.
|
|
This pile will stay moist, but allow the roots to breathe.
|
|
|
|
If the area receives a lot of rain, a small channel should be formed at top
|
|
of the hole to funnel water away. The reservoir below will fill with water
|
|
from rain or can be irrigated occasionally. To check water levels a simple
|
|
water gauge can be designed. A plastic tube as long as the gole and pile is
|
|
placed vertically in the hole before it is filled. A bamboo stake with a
|
|
cork attached at the bottom is placed in the tube. The cork will rise to
|
|
the surface level of the water, indicating how many inches of water are being
|
|
held.
