Many new growers, especially those looking for a new hobby wonder whether they should build or buy a system to start their foray into hydroponics growing. It really depends on you (stating the obvious). It depends on how much disposable time you have on your hands and the reason you want to grow. There are volumes of material on how you can build your own system, starting with a simple bubbler.

The Hydroponic bubbling planter is simple and inexpensive to build. Using the empty plastic bucket container that you might have purchased your pets kitty litter in, a small electric device to aerate and a sharp instrument, you can get to work. Then start bathing your plant roots in oxygen infused nutrient solutions you’ve added to the planter and there you go.

This is way over simplification of course, but you can realistically put a do-it-yourself hydroponics beginner system together very inexpensively. Now weigh the time and effort doing this against the other factors and decide whether to do this or say buy a ready made hydro system like the WaterFarm module for under $50.00.

In both cases you will need to know more and will want to spend the time learning if you really want to get into hydroponics, but this may very well be your first decision. Stating the obvious again… it’s up to you!
