### Build an affordable small hydroponic garden using a $3 plastic bin from IKEA, a handful of 3D printed parts, and some inexpensive purchased components.
This system can be operated in a number of ways. You can add air pumps and a recirculating water pump to do a deep water culture (DWC) setup. You can also run it totally passively by simply drilling one hole in the center of the lid for your net cup or a 3D printed Aerogarden pod adapter.
Check out these Youtube videos that explain how to build the DWC variant of this system. To simplify and set it up Kratky-style, you can omit most of the holes I drill in the lid and just drill as many 2" holes as you need to fit your net cups.

* Part 2: I show how to assemble the finished product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtmLA_urcFY
