What We’re Building
The system we’re building is commonly called a dwc hydroponic system. DWC stands for deep water culture.

Most people look for DWC systems without knowing the method is actually just water culture hydroponics. The addition of the word “deep” just means the system is at least 8 to 10 inches deep.

How Does a Deep Water Culture System Work?
A plant is suspended in a net cup above the nutrient solution in the reservoir. The reservoir in this case is a bucket. As the root system of the plant grows it relies on dissolved oxygen in the water to survive.

In the system we’re building, an air pump (aerator) oxygenates the water. Without this aeration, the nutrient solution (water) would become stagnant and a fully submerged root system would die.

Working and spending more time at home has recently gotten me more interested in gardening and growing my own vegetables. It has also been a pretty expensive past-time given the amount of materials, soil, and water needed to upkeep and grow a garden.

I looked into cheaper alternatives and started learning more about hydroponics, however, that in itself is also pretty expensive to start. I figured I could build my own hydroponics system on my own for much cheaper.

This is part one of a short series where I start my very first attempt at a hydroponics garden build.
