Vine Crops in Dutch Buckets

When vine crop production is the goal, CropKing recommends the use of the Dutch Bucket or Bato Bucket system. This type of system is an investment in the future of your business, every aspect of the growing system is the highest quality and built to last. Unlike other throw away, cheap systems you will get many years of use from this system. The Bato bucket offers quality as well as security when growing your high value crops, each bucket is formed with a small reservoir to avoid drowning or starving your plants, and since they are made from high quality UV resistant plastic and reuse the same bucket for years to come.

One of the most versatile and simple systems to use in the greenhouse. This system allows for great flexibility in layout and in the variety of plants that can be grown in them - tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, squash, pole beans and eggplant to name a few.

The Buckets hold the media in which the plants grow and they can be positioned to provide the plant spacing required for the crop being grown. CropKing uses perlite filled buckets. Each bucket has a bottom reservoir providing nutrients to the plants between feedings. Excess nutrient solution is conducted away from the plants via the drain line that all the buckets sit on. 
Fertilizer solution is delivered to the buckets through the injection system, a feed line, emitters, emitter lines and stabilizer stakes. An iGrow computer is used to activate the delivery system on a desired schedule.
