Dutch buckets over concrete...
Posted: Tue Aug 25, 2015 8:39 pm
Hi all I have a quick question...
I'm planning my hydro system that I will be building this fall and will bring online outdoors next spring.
First I'm building a series of 18" high and 24" wide and 36" long wooden benches to set my dutch buckets on. They will be all in a straight line with the drain pipe running the full length back to the reservoir. The whole line will be 16'.
My first thought was to put it on my 24' cement patio. However, I'm concerned about radiated heat from the cement in the summer stressing the plants.
Has anyone else had issue with a hydro system on cement in full sun?
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
