gps, i like the design of your third system. that looks likeit would work for most bushy plants.

I was woundering if you have ever seen general hydroponics ebb and grow, is it a ebb and flow system as its name suggests. its got a 4x4 tray design that i think would make a great setup for leafy veggies. it kinda a what i would love to set up for my leafy veggie needs. i wounder if i could replicate some similar.

At this point i need to pick a system to do first. im thinking of making a few dwcs to handle my leafy veggie needs. What about doing a dwc indoors for my leafy needs? my homes temprature is a stable 72degrees all the time. Would i have to rig up some l ighting or would placing it near a window suffice for my leafy needs. Not just lettuce but collard and spinich as well. Any thoughts. if i do put it out side, how do i handle rain, keeping rain o ut But sunlight in?

What about the other systems, how do they handle being rained on, wont that affect the ph of the water? id imagine i could rig up a canopy or some such, but do you have any ideas on what matieral it should be. maybe a clear plastic sheet, such as used for painting could help?

i wounder how many dwc setups id need to keep a decent supply of my leafy greens.
Also how long does a supply water/nutrients in dwc last?
