As a 'daughter', I cherish the memories I have with my father. Especially, when I was the one, out of all my siblings, to 'help him with a special project'.

As an ex little girl, I look back on my time in our large vegetable garden with tremendous fondness. the chores were labors of love. we also had some chickens, and I collected the eggs each morning as my brothers were too rough and loud, upsetting the hens. the lessons I learned then have served me well (still do) 55 years later. they've applied in ways that surprise, well beyond what you'd think. She's a lucky girl to have the experiences and with a Dad like you. perhaps when she's in her late 60's she'll be looking back with as much love as I do.

I am 67 y.o. My poor dad had only girls, I am the oldest. We owned income property. At age 10 I learned how to replace a broken window - points, putty, the whole show. He showed me how to put 1 point in, explained how to putty the putty on, and walked away. He left me on my own to do it. I was really proud. It came out great, no sloppiness. From there it was how to use power tools, cut dry wall, mud dry wall, how to measure, etc. I cherish all that knowledge. I have my own power tools. I can rewire lamps, install ceiling fans, change fixtures. I go to You Tube for anything I don't know. I hope he can see how much I learned from him.

Have built and grown veggies in builds like this and using the fence post covers horizontally to make a veggie privacy wall in an aquaponic setup with a koi pond. A couple of considerations you are probably already experiencing: 1) While your solution containers seem large, once the two towers get growing good, transpiration will use up the solution shockingly fast. and 2) You have to be careful about plants like tomatoes that get seriously large root balls that can plug of the solution flow and get roots even into the pump. It's very satisfying sorting out the tech and trouble shooting these systems. Have fun.

[@IveHadMyFun]

my first thoughts were that space isn't big enough for the root systems especially if they get planted that close together, great idea though

The minute you started glueing the plant holders onto the main pipe I felt my heart sink as the thought "Wait a minute...wasn't the bottom of the pipe on the other side when he started?" flickered across my mind. In my own homesteading endeavors (here in the Helderberg Basin in South Africa) I've had more of those mix ups than I care to count - usually after thinking "I'd better make sure I don't do that..." at the start of the project. Such a relatable predicament XD I tried to make vertical towers right at the start of my gardening journey but they didn't work well enough in the end.

Is there a way to get capillary action, with some fibers, or something, to help pull the water up, instead of the pump, I wonder? Trees do it. But I don't know if it's possible to make it happen in an artificial set-up. If we could think of a way to remove the electricity, and still get water to the roots, that would be a game changer. Like I said, though, I don't know. It might break some law of physics or something. Just seems like if a tree can do it, we should be able to, if we find the right materials, and composition. Maybe bamboo fibers?

[@annalisa6135]

I loved the video. You’ve got a great sense of humor and a real gift for improvising. Wish I did. I’ve got a “brown thumb” when it comes to gardening, and a “black thumb” when it comes to building! As a 63 year old woman trying to figure out things on my own, I’m ashamed to admit, I needed a little more detail. Especially when it comes to the measurement of things such as how you arrived at your answers (the math) and the cutting of things; types of tools/blades used etc. I envy your daughter. She’s getting a prime education; things the schools will never teach like how to be self sufficient. So glad you are teaching her these things. She’s going to be so prepared for the life this world, aka our “President” is leaving her. My father never taught me squat. He was too busy hunting and fishing and living for his own enjoyment & entertainment. The only thing he did teach me is how to shoot. Unfortunately, I can’t eat bullets. But in that regard, I am prepared for anything else J.B. throws my way. Just need to catch up on the growing of things. Seems each plant has its own needs. Which to me, is confusing since i can’t mix a different dirt and fertilizer mix for each of the 32 squares of my 8’ x 4’ bed I just bought. Then, there’s the myriad of FREAKING PESTS and diseases I’m having to recognize & deal with. This is my third year trying to learn all this stuff. Then there’s the different sunlight requirements; and the different times of year month to month where the sunlight angles are different. I also have to consider whether the trees surrounding the growing area in late January/early February with no leaves, are going to give me the right amount of sun and/or shade months later. Then there’s the different water requirements which are tricky with 12”x 12” squares (I’m trying square foot gardening and have to hope I haven’t crammed them all to close together. A lot of these packages have confusing instructions as to how far apart the plants need to be spaced, as if they’re meant for someone growing in ground). One plant needs more water than the one next to it. While I’ve learned a bit more than I knew in 2020 (and when I say “a bit”, I mean A BIT), the way things are going in the world, I don’t have long to master these skills; at least not enough to be able to feed myself. Wish me luck; or rather prayer would be more applicable. And thanks for a great video. I liook forward to seeing more.

This tower is about as cool as your video-channel....uber-enjoyable, and I love the family-inclusiveness. Your sweet daughter will have great memories about being a member of the "cast."

Daisy chained them together with 6- 3-gallon pots and put volcanic rock in the bottom of the nest and them fiberglass medium for plants to grow in.

Little girls need this Dad time. Thank you for being a great Dad. I wish my Dad had been like you. I did have a Grandfather though, just like you. It means the world to little girls.❤

Hydroponics is so much fun and amazing to see how fast your -pot- vegetables grow! I've done 4x8 tables, drip systems, constant root immersion....depending on your crop there's a method better suited.

[@biancazombie9322]

Lol

[@driver3899]

great video I see a lot of these videos about the brand new build of a vertical grow tower but very rarely do I see a video on how they are going some years later It would be very interesting to see what (if any) improvements or changes you make in a follow up video later on

[@SeamusHarper1234]

Hi, some recommendations from someone who did a few hydroponics builds: Try out an NFT system in comparison. While the vertical idea sounds nice at first, I really like the better maintainability and increased productivity of the NFT rails. Please also try out a dutch bucket / Bato buckets build for larger plants. Tomatoes will go bonkers in these systems. Anything with a large root system is happy in dutch buckets.

[@PhishedOff]

What’s an NFT rail? Sorry if it’s obvious and I missed it. I can’t build what he’s doing. 🌸

[@cindygordon7745]

What is the advantage of an NFT rail system? Seems like this one is a great use of space, going vertically. Curious on your thoughts.

[@thobert1]

I agree but NFT does take up a lot of room. The purpose of the tower is the food production vs the square footage. You can put this on an apartment deck.

I love that you are teaching valuable life lessons to your young daughter while spending unforgettable quality time with her! Go DAD!

[@sal9842]

That is so cute seeing how she concentrating when you have her do a task she’s a cutie. And you’re so patient with her this was a nice video thank you and I learned quite a lot of how to dump out rocks and water. Thank you.

[@whomeverwherever]

Great teamwork! 😊 Very creative, resourceful, and entertaining as usual.

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks!

[@anyalei]

As a woman that likes to build things, it was just lovely to see how you let your daughter help you. Idk but there was some deep, tangible love there, and it had me a little teary eyed. You must be an amazing dad and I hope you and your daughter will have an eternal bond of love and light 💖

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you so much

[@redcaliber9679]

The greatest part about this video, is you working and teaching your daughter. Great job DAD

[@olympiaeaton]

Love that you are teaching your daughter as you go!! My dad the same and I'm pretty handy today!

[@feelosophy1921]

The little one hung in there the entire time. Color me impressed. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@alonsorodriguez3657]

This is a great project to do with my girls I'm also a girls dad and it's great being able to do things like this with them thanks for these amazing videos 👍🏼

[@HAXMAN]

That's awesome Alonso! Thanks!

[@suzanalbright8670]

All the best to you and your daughters, sir. As a woman who was blessed with a wonderful, father, I can tell you that an affectionate and emotionally supportive relationship between a girl and her dad will have positive effects throughout her lifetime.

[@mister-action1]

It's great you're teachings your children skills 👏 Great job! I may do one of those my self.

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you!

[@mellowmanta8975]

you are such a cool dad and this was a GREAT tutorial!! your daughter's cool as heck also I love the "...I have to go back to the hardware store." because that's the most relatable project moment of all time

[@clintstegall1069]

Hey fella, you sir, are a great man. I raised two daughters myself, they were by my side since they started walking and today both married to great men. It’s not the material things a child remembers, it’s the simple things in life they remember, because my two daughters now 26 and 23 talk about the simple things we did together. Making memories, that’s one of the most important moments in life. Great video and thank you for who you are and what you stand for.

[@matavisual_]

Terrific ideas.. this is how people in the big cities should farm for self-reliance!

[@JustTheFactsYall]

So happy you made the switch. Been doing this for sometime with plants. Would love to see you get your rain gutters involved. Auto top off valve is going to be needed. Now you got my wheels turning. I wonder what happens if you put some drums under ground. 🤔

[@HAXMAN]

I do plan on building a rain catchment system sometime soon hopefully.

[@umemployedable]

@@HAXMAN-- I have a hot house and put gutters on it and have 500 litre rain tanks. I have refilled my hydroponic tanks twice with rain water . Which is plumbed directly from rain water tanks into my two 200 litre tubs for the hydroponics. With 13mm (1/2 inch) poly tube and 13mm (1/2 inch) poly taps. Will be looking at vertical system to add on using pvc down pipe rectangular as I don't think Australia has the post covers that I have seen used for a decking rescue show in Texas USA but will do a search to see if available in Australia. We have a mini watering jet that spins around that is useful for watering to top of the Aeroponics. Seen it on youtube as well.

[@sandoratech]

Have you thought through how to keep them upright when they have the weight of the plants it pulling them one way or the other? Also speaking of the weight of the plant by only gluing the angle pieces to the outside of the post the glue is going to have to hold the entire weight of the plant. Consider making the angle piece a bit longer and the hole slightly larger so the angle piece and go into the whole a little. It will be resting on the bottom part of the hole which should increase the weight capacity.

[@HAXMAN]

The base weighs over 160 pounds when it is 2/3 full. That’s why I went with such a large container, to counter the weight of the plants.

[@robs.8692]

@@HAXMAN that's exactly what I was wondering. What plants worked the best? Wouldn't califlower be more difficult? Cool as H*** tho! Thank you.
