Tower of Strawberries

ok, i had this crazy idea. i saw a photo of a vertical garden in a hydroponic book. i did some research and decided to make my own.

I picked up 5 5x5 plastic buckets. I used 3/4 inch PVC pipe to hold the tower in place. At the bottom is a 5 gallon pickle bucket with an ecoplus 185 pump. Attached to the pump is 1/2 inch black tubing and it is threaded up the pipe and out the top. An on/off valve is attached at the top. I attached 2 spaghetti lines to the 1/2 tube and put one in top and one in the bottom. The nutrient pumps up the top and trickles down to the bottom and gets recycled. I am using a perlite/coco mix. 8 strawberry plants will go in the tower.
