| DIY Hydroponics: If You Build It They Will Grow |
| Think you have to drop a load of cash to garden hydroponically? Think again. With a few old two-liter bottles, a large plastic tray, a little growing medium, and some nutrient solution, you can create your own passive hydroponics system. Add a couple of inexpensive modifications and you can convert that passive system into a continuously aerated one in no time. |

| Plants don't use all nutrients at the same rate. Over time, your nutrient solution will become unbalanced as some nutrients are used up and others are left in large quantities. The best solution to this problem is to change your nutrient every 10 to 14 days; empty your reservoir and refill it with fresh nutrient solution. |
