Dutch Bucket System: The black or tan (3) gallon Dutch Buckets are evenly spaced for maximum production, filled with perlite media, set on a pre-drilled 1.5" PVC drain pipe. 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. Quality emitters... irrigation fittings included.

  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 to grow fewer plants well, than many plants crowded. In this way, each plant produces more, is easier to tend and is healthier
