DIY: Irrigated Kratky Hydroponics Project - 5. Plant Container Assembly, Waterproofing and Testing.

Container assembly is one of the most tedious and protracted step of this project. In part due to materials research and sourcing, trying and testing bonding agents, and time needed for it to set. Extra precaution was taken while handling irritants during the assembly. Each painstaking effort for one container had to be repeated three more times. This took weeks to complete. But in the end the outcome proved the design is sound. Also learned a few things about plumbing. Although I got fed up from taking so many trips to the hardware store.

Payback is eventually reduced upkeep and maintenance time compared to individual containers. Which still remains to be seen.
