hey Sahib,

I tried that. . . . don't bother unless you want to empty it out/wash gravel a lot. That type of design tends to clog a lot in my experience. But if you're outside and don't mind emptying/cleaning it a bit, it might be worth it because it's cheap to build. You do have to do short-term crops though. longer lived crops develop root balls that clog those pipes. Oh and they're heavy!!

Hanging vertical aquaponics. Well here is a video of me building a frame kit for hanging the Zipgrow Vertical Aquaponic towers.

This could be adapted to most any type of towers but this particular design is for the Zipgrow with the horizontal knee brace to keep the towers from swinging around in the wind.

Excellent TCLynx :-)

Thank you... could you possibly share the size of pipe and fittings (type and where available). I am sure that this video will be very helpful to anyone looking to hang vertical growing pots...it is to me.

God bless,
