I love the simplicity, I was looking for the exact idea that would work for me, and this is it. The only thing I would add is the bucket lid, so dirt and insects won't get in the water that easily. Thank you for these videos!

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

That's a great idea!

[@bekind4732]

❤Beautifully made!! 😍 thank you so much for your kindness to share. God bless you.

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MattssterTV]

this is dope

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

They work well!!

[@chookchack]

Is there a way to seal the bucket? Vegas heat will munch the water really quick.

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

You can cut a lid for it

[@profitluciano120]

Is there a BPA free alternative pipe?

[@Coolgay791]

Best setup in the world bro

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

Thanks!

Hey amazing videos I’m currently following along to build one for myself! Is the water diverter something you 3D printed? If so where would I be able to get my hands on the 3D file

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

Check my link tree in my profile, it's all there

Hey I'm trying to find some 3 inch net cup holders

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

I only make 1 type, 3 inch won't fit in these.

[@cathyspencer6432]

Do you have the total cost for this unit available or am approximate amount? Looks like a great system you've put together, one that I can do. Many thanks.

I built one of these but I printed the entire tower instead of the pvc pipe. I spent around $40 on filament, $15 on the pump, $6 for the bucket and $10 for some rock wool cubes. I have mine growing in the house the grow lights were another $100. I printed mine off of Thingiverse.

Hello, I built one of these last year with about the same hole configuration. I lost momentum with the project dealing with my other hydroponic projects. My plan is to get it going soon. I see you are using lettuce. Any thoughts on other plants that will do well, and did you have any issues with root congestion with that spacing configuration?

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

ive done lettuce and a few other small plants, ive had no issues with root clogging

[@teenayee9974]

Does anyone know where you can buy the water diverters? I can’t find them anywhere

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

Link in my bio will take you to my etsy store, I make and sell them

[@Cactus8772]

Will the soil from plant/seed holders not get washed away ?

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

It's not soil, it's a sponge

[@newwaves8159]

Check the link in my bio,. The linktree

[@thechroniclesoftropicaloss9465]

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

No tomatoes you not work

[@likasite]

what 3D printer do you use?

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

Anycubic Kobras

[@likasite]

@@modernhomesteadfarm thank you! I'm super interested in getting your plans, and printing one of these. This whole concept still blows my mind

[@NYRDO_Official]

Do you have a way to get in contact with you for business purposes concerning the usage of your design?

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

email me

[@MarsellaFyngold]

Wait so is this a hydroponic tower? Or aeroponic?

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

Its a Combo almost

[@BAHB420]

Spray paint and 3D Printer plastic doesn't seem food safe...

[@modernhomesteadfarm]

For one the paint does not touch the water, and you aren't eating the plastic, 2 pla+ is food safe along with many other types of filament.
