Part 1 of 2: Build Hydroponics System

Materials:

• 18-gallon plastic tote
• 8 net pots (they should be around 3.75-4 inches across)
• Aquarium air stone
• Aquarium air pump
• Box cutter or a drill with 4-inch hole saw attachment
• Sharpie or some other marker
• Drill with small drill bit (optional, if needed)
• 6 zip ties (optional, if necessary)

1. Cut Holes

Arrange your net pots on the lid of the tote so that they’re equally spaced out. Now use your marker to trace around the bottom of each pot.

You should now have eight circles traced out on the lid. Use your box cutter or your drill with a hole saw attachment to cut out each of the circles carefully.
