Dutch Bucket System: The black or tan (3) gallon Dutch Buckets are evenly spaced for maximum production, filled with perlite media and set on a pre-drilled 1.5" PVC drain pipe. The Dutch Buckets can be set up as an open or closed system.

Irrigation System: Uses a specialized drip tube, white outside, black inside to discourage algae growth and keep nutrient cool during high temperatures. Water filter, quality emitters and irrigation fittings included.

Nutrient Controller: Utilizes a large insulated nutrient reservoir controlled by an on-demand Nutridose II controller. No injectors to clog. Includes nutrient stock tanks, pH stock tanks, peristaltic pumps, timer, irrigation pump, and a nutrient aeration and mixing package. All fittings included.

Plant Support and Growing Supplies: Includes tomahooks, twine, vine clips, nutrient, pH adjusters, EC meter, pH meter, Rockwool propagation cubes and seeds.

Nutrient Management and Grower Support: We analyze your source water and design nutrient specific to your water and crop and if necessary, recommend water treatment. You receive our grower support from system installation all the way through your first crop with this package.

Biological Control Package: Includes sticky traps, Guardian, Pyganic, and Serenade for nematodes. For white fly we have Encarsia Formosa.

 

Typical Dutch Bucket system layout for 30x132 greenhouse:

  • 420 Buckets = 840 Plant sites
  • Tank and controls located inside greenhouse
  • Average yield possible 25-40 lbs tomatoes per plant. Peppers 8-15 lbs per plant, Cucumbers 22-30 lbs per plant. (actual yields increase with experience)
  • Installs easily on almost any greenhouse surface or outside
  • It is our experience that it is better to grow fewer plants well, than many plants crowded. In this way, each plant produces more, is easier to tend and is healthier.
