Today we present a hydroponic system which is ideal for those who have little space and want to grow their own food. The system is called A-frame Hydroponic Vertical Garden, and has been manufactured in East Asia.
It can even be expanded and made bigger. In this way more plants could be grown without any problem. Are you interested in knowing how it works? We'll tell you then.
It is manufactured with low cost materials, including the boards for the structure, PVC pipe and tubes for the circulation of the water, as well as the valves to control the flow of the water and drainage. Not counting on the plastic bag for the tank.
Up to 168 plants can be grown, an incredible number considering how little space this system takes up. You can have all kinds of plants: basil, strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes, any small horticultural plant you can think of!
The one in the top photo is a homemade hydroponic system, made with wood. Hydroponics offers numerous advantages over traditional cultivation, and they are the following:
- better use of available space
- better pest control
- therefore the plants will grow healthy and strong
- facilitates cross pollination, and the appearance of species with the desired characteristics
But also some drawbacks:
- the task of pollination, in the case of hydroponic systems that are indoors, will fall on the farmer
- plants need food to grow, so it is very necessary to fertilize from time to time
It is a topic that many discuss. There are those who are in favor, and there are those who do not. The truth is that any growing system that helps to have fresher and healthier food is very interesting, don't you think? What do you think of this topic? Let us know.

Today I saw the Vertical Hydroponic system on the internet, it seems very practical and especially the little space it occupies, although it does not mention the M2 but the number of plants per module. I have been working in my desk on a similar module and that probably in the same slowness can increase 33% of plants so the cost of each module is automatically reduced and it is also expandable to the size that one wants. I congratulate her on her publication. Thanks.
Thank you very much.

Ing. Jose Murillo Corral: Thank you for your words.
Henrique Santos Augusto: setting up a hydroponic system is simpler than it seems. You only have to cut PVC pipes to the most suitable size, taking into account the space that the plants will occupy and between plants; place a PVC cap on one end of the tube, fill it with substrate (gravel, river sand, coconut fiber… whatever you prefer) and cover the other end of the tube. Finally, it only remains to open the holes to be able to put the plants and place the irrigation system.
Once you have made one, make others and hold them in a wooden structure -either triangular as seen in the first image of the article, or square type table-.
A greeting.
