Description Hydroponics upcycling kit for bottles
If you love plants, it stands to reason that you also want to preserve the environment in which they grow. Perhaps you have already thought about replacing the peat-containing soil in your flower pots with more environmentally friendly options. Peat-free soil protects the moors, which in turn can store a lot of CO2 – but it is usually much more expensive and harder to come by.
Nevertheless, you don't have to give up home-grown kitchen herbs; you can simply try the Hydroponics Kit for Bottles. With the accessories included in the kit, some water, and an empty bottle, you can grow your plants. With hydroponic cultivation, you not only protect the moors but also save water. And it's possible anywhere. NASA is even researching how to grow vegetables on Mars and in space using this method.
The set includes seeds, fertilizer, substrate, and of course, the 3 inserts from the 3D printer. The diameter of the inserts is 16 mm.
After preparing your chosen containers with water and the insert, you only need to add the substrate, fertilizer, and seeds and wait. Through the transparent glass, you can even observe the growth process of the roots! By the way, green or brown glass bottles are best suited because less algae growth occurs in them.
Here you will find a YouTube video that illustrates the use of the bottle kit, and here another hydroponics set with which you can grow various kitchen herbs in tin cans.
