Ebb&Flow growing systemBy..... Makayla, Coleman, Jared and Eric

Equipment!!!

• Buying equipment, the

equipment needed was:

• 30 gallon bucket

• 15 gallon bucket

• Drain

• 1 inch PVC tube

• Clay pellets

• Water pump

• Silicone

• After we got the stuff we needed, we came up with a plan on how

we wanted to construct it and how it would work.

• Building: we started off with cutting holes in the top black tub for

the drain and over flow, to fit in.

Step by step how to build!

Step by step 2

• The stand: in order for the black tub to stay

up higher where it needs to be,our group

decided that we should have a stand

underneath to hold the tub up.

• Coleman built and painted a stand so it can

tolerate water.

• Putting it all together: we put the stand in

the bottom bucket and set the black top

bucket on top

• We secured the drain and the overflow

tube in the exact spot we wanted it.

• We had to wait for the silicone to dry.

• After that we had everything all set to go we

filled it with the amount of water we wanted.

Step by step 3

• Trying it out: it's all put

together and ready to go.

• Using the pump we filled the

growing tub with water to see

how well the drain and over

flow tube works.

• Fixing any problems that

occurred: Patching up tubes

and cutting final lengths of

tubing

Clay pellets

• We filled the black tub 3/4 of

the way full with clay pellets.

• After we added the pellets we

set the mesh pots in the top of

the clay pellets.

How it works!!

• The bottom tub is filled with

water and nutrients, it fills the

top tub up for a certain

amount of time and then will

drain .

• The growing tub has clay

pellets in it and they will soak

up the water. Soaking the

plants!
