The Eewa Farms Dutch Buckets are ideal for both drip irrigation and recirculating hydroponic setups. Each bucket features an overflow outlet that connects seamlessly to a central 1.5-inch PVC drainpipe. The design ensures optimal water flow with an efficient internal discharge system. The included elbows help siphon excess water from the bucket’s base, preventing water from pooling and directing it to the central drain.

This system is perfect for growing vine crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, as well as flowering plants like roses and cannabis. Eewa Farms Dutch Buckets are compatible with a wide range of growing media, including expanded clay, perlite, and coconut coir.
