could u cut holes in a bin
 

could u cut holes in the bottom of a bin and then put your plants in with perlite, rockwool, growrocks etc. in pots and just flood it with a nutrient solution and then it would be ebb and flow

Yes it would. It is as simple as that. Rubbermaid containers, a submersible pump, grow medium, hydroponic nutrient solution and you got yourself a hydroponic garden.
