Finally this last video demonstrates a much lower-tech, very accessible method of setting up a hydroponic system.  This method is within reach for most gardeners and can easily be scaled up to commercial dimensions.  The system can be built with recycled parts, many of which may be available for free.  This illustrates it is possible to start on a small scale and expand as time and money permit.

This system is set up inside a greenhouse but there is no reason that the same system couldn’t be used outdoors.  Protection from wind would be necessary outdoors as the buckets could be blown over.  The same techniques and equipment could be used indoors or outdoors.
