I've always been a fan of aero wanted to see if I could build something that's cheaper and with fewer moving parts than the Amazon system I use for my grows. I found a video on amazon that seemed pretty easy to build, so went ahead with attempting to build using parts sourced in the UK.
The system I've come up with uses a £12 recycled plastic box bought online from George @ asda, some rigid plastic pipework, garden irrigation fittings and a pump I had knocking around. The pipework was probably the most expensive part as I went overkill with 3/4" pvcu and bought probably twice as much as I needed.
This is the semi finished system, I still need to put in a drain and level pipe as well as a platform for the roots to sit in so they don't clog the pump as easily.

Have some auto seeds currently in the propagator to test it out with, should have the drain etc installed over the weekend ready for them to go in when they are ready.
