![]() ![]() ![]() The plants are fertilized using the Nutrient Injection System, which pulls a concentrated nutrient solution from fertilizer tanks at predetermined ratios and then injects the nutrient solution through the feed plumbing lines on intervals ranging from 3 minutes ON every 20 minutes to 1 minute ON every 30 minutes, depending on the season and maturity of the crop. The Dutch buckets are typically filled with perlite growing media, and crops are transplanted into the buckets after maturing for 2-4 weeks in a primary growing media, such as a 1.5" rockwool cube. The Bato bucket is sold with a two-piece elbow which connects the base of the bucket to the drainline through this channel excess nutrient solution can drain off while preventing root growth from clogging the drain line. The buckets are injection molded with a UV stabilized polyethylene material resulting in a highly durable product with smooth edges and surfaces. ![]() Typically the buckets are staggered on 16"-centers along a center 2.5" PVC drainline, though the versatility of the buckets allows for modified configurations. The system includes 2.9 gallon (11 liter) Bato buckets which measure 12"- long, 10"-wide, and 9"-high. You can use just about any type of growing media, including expanded clay pellets, perlite, and coconut coir.Dutch Bucket System is optimized for large, vining crops, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and peppers. ![]() Two siphon elbows are recommended per each bucket. Siphon pipe also prevents over accumulation of nutrient solution. This feature prevents growing medium from drying out and causing water stress between irrigation cycles.
