What Are Bato Buckets?

Also known as Dutch Buckets, Bato buckets are one of the most popular hydroponic growing systems for both beginners and commercial growers. Instead of using one large media bed, each plant is grown in its own bucket, allowing individual root zones while sharing a common irrigation and drainage system.

The buckets are typically arranged in rows with a simple nutrient supply line and drainage return, making them easy to install, expand, and maintain.
