Home-made green house

Made this green house out of bamboo poles and wraps.
Helps to keep rain and pest out.
It can be very warm inside, like a sauna.





Nutrient reservoir















The reservoir contains a pump connected to a timer that pumps nutrient solution into the hydroponic system

Roots growing down towards the solution









Pumpkin and Tomato growing in the hydroponic system





























Unfortunately, I was unable to continue the project as I had to relocate...
