DIY EZ Cloner for Under 50 bucks

Posted on 13.13 by dengen
OK...so I realized that raising tomato plants from seed at this point is going to be challenging and I dont really have a resource in the winter for tomato plants, so whats an Aquaponics Gardener to do...Why, build my own DIY EZ Cloner and all for under $50..I say around $40 in the video, but I didnt figure in the cost of the pipe, fittings and the three additional Net Pots w/Neoprene inserts Im going to need, so the total comes in at a little under $50..still not bad considering the price of a commercial unit. Here a few pics of the unit and a video overview of the cloner...I think it is going to work out just fine.


 The Finish Product
 A Blue 20 Gallon Tote from my local Family Dollar for $10
 Fairly deep compared to an 18 Gallon Tote
 Layout for 2" holes to accommodate Net Pots
 Starting the holes
Standard 2" Net Pots with Neoprene inserts.
