Thank you Mark, I'm happy what I am sharing is starting to help and inspire others to get into growing their own foo, even if it's not in hydroponics, but at least getting started growing in some way.
Yeah, with the Dutch buckets, it is a variation of the commercial "Bato Bucket" systems - if you need that term to research it. The Bato buckets have a specific shape to allow them to sit over the return line. Using the 3 or 5 gallon buckets with a "net cup" style lid and PVC fittings to achieve the same results is what we refer to as Dutch buckets.
