My First Hydroponic Rig

I’ve wanted to try this forever. The same rad dude who taught me how to make beer (my brother in law) has told me how easy it is to make one of these, and I finally got around to it!

I started with an aquarium air pump and a short length of tubing.

Then I got really lucky and found this chicken wire material. I guess the people who lived here before me must’ve left this in the garden…lucky break!

I got a small trash bin and made a top out of the wire screen, then filled the trash bin/bucket with water and fed the air tube through to the bottom. Next I made some larger holes for garlic to eat in.

Today I’m starting with three cloves. These have just been sitting in the kitchen counter…nothing special.

Now I’m placing them in the holes with the rough/rooting end towards the water.

Honestly, that’s pretty much all for now. I’m just going to post updates periodically if these babies take root!

Thanks for checking out some more of my work! As always, I hope you enjoyed witnessing as much as I enjoyed creating!
