Default Air-pruning Hydroponic Build

I finally got around to making a video about my air-pruning hydroponics system. IT is a modified dutch (bato) bucket system.

Your setup looks great! I hope you don't plan to re-do the whole system every year! What are the dimensions of your greenhouse?

HI Charley,
