The Bato Hydro bucket was designed for small to large scale hydroponic container gardening. It can be used with Geolite/Hydroton, Ultrapeat or Perlite to grow any type of plants. The hydro buckets have a built in safety reservoir that maintains a small amount of water under the medium to protect plants in case of temporary irrigation failure.Use any drip type irrigation system to feed, Hydro Bucket drains into a 1 1/2 in. PVC pipe for easy collection of excess nutrient. .
Our favorite media to use in the Bato buckets is a mix of 1 brick UltraPeat (coco coir) and 1/2 gal. dry Perlite (mixed together) per bucket. A top dressing of an inch or two of Geolite or Hydroton grow rocks will control algae and fungus.
