Dutch Bucket Fruiting Garden Kit

This kit serves one of our pillars: Production — technology in the service of nature.

Leafy greens are easy, but real growers chase the heavy hitters: tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers that fruit for months. This kit builds a true Dutch bucket system, the workhorse of commercial hydroponics, where clay pebbles anchor a big plant while a pump pushes nutrient-rich water through the bucket and drains it back to a reservoir. You feed the crop a balanced A plus B solution, watch the pH and TDS like a real farmer, and harvest fruit you grew without a single shovel of soil. It turns a balcony or a sunny corner into a serious fruiting station.

What's inside the kit?

• Dutch Bucket Grow Vessels (5 Pack) — Dutch bucket grow vessels (5) with self-draining outlet
• 20L Tank Bucket — 20L tank — the nutrient reservoir the system recirculates from
• Submersible Water Pump 45W — 45W submersible pump to feed the buckets
• 6x8mm PVC Tubing 1M ×3 — PVC tubing for the feed and drain lines
• Hydroponics Clay Pebbles 1.8kg ×2 — Clay pebbles to anchor the heavy fruiting plants
• Hydroponic Net Cups — Net cups to hold the seedlings
• Hydroponic Grow Sponges (50 pcs) — Grow sponges for starting the seeds
• A+B Hydroponic Nutrient Solution — A plus B nutrient for heavy-yield crops
• Hydroponic Water pH Meter — pH meter
• TDS Meter Analog Sensor V1.0 — TDS meter
• Imported Saint Pierre Tomato Seeds (5 Seeds) — Tomato seeds — the flagship fruiting crop
• Bell Pepper Seeds 7g — Bell pepper seeds
• Cucumber Seeds 8g — Cucumber seeds

How the idea works

Every part in the kit has a job. Assembled in the right order they stop being loose parts and become a working system — one you build yourself, understand at every step, and see the result of with your own eyes. The included build guide walks you from zero to running.

Your journey: from kit to competition

• Build — assemble the kit and get it running.
• Understand — learn why each part is there and how it works.
• Improve — modify it, add a sensor, tune it, try your own idea.
• Make a project — turn the experiment into a project that solves a real environmental problem.
• Compete — enter your project into local and international competitions.

A good fit for tracks such as:

• Production / الإنتاج
• Water / المياه

What you'll learn

• Assemble a recirculating Dutch bucket system: reservoir, submersible pump, feed tubing, and a clay-pebble grow bucket that drains back to the tank
• Start fruiting seeds in grow sponges and transplant healthy seedlings into net cups without disturbing the roots
• Mix and dose a two-part A plus B nutrient solution to feed heavy-yield crops like tomato, pepper, and cucumber
• Measure and adjust pH and TDS to keep fruiting plants in their ideal feeding range through flowering and harvest

Extend & innovate

Run two or three Dutch buckets in a row off one reservoir to compare how tomato, pepper, and cucumber respond to the same feed, and keep a weekly log of pH, TDS, and fruit set. Try a higher-potassium phase once flowering starts and note the effect on yield. Add a simple timer so the pump cycles instead of running constantly, and track how that changes water and power use.
