Bato Buckets (Dutch Buckets)

This is just the Bato bucket and drainage elbows, this allows you to grow a variation of quantity,types of plants and other media options without being limited by the hole set out in the lids.

Bato buckets, also known as Dutch buckets, are a variation of the media bed technique used in hydroponics and aquaponics. Instead of one large bed, this system employs a series of smaller media beds contained in individual buckets and is perfect for beginners and commercial growers.

The buckets are usually arranged in rows, with each row sharing a simple irrigation line and a single drainage line. This straightforward design makes Bato buckets one of the easiest systems to set up and maintain.

Plumbing requirements for a Bato system are minimal, though they can be adjusted depending on the grower’s goals and specific needs.

Like other media bed systems, Bato buckets are versatile and widely used in both hydroponics and aquaponics. They have become especially popular in regions with non-arable land or where traditional farming methods are impractical. By offering a practical, space-efficient, and productive growing method, Bato buckets provide significant benefits to both home gardeners and commercial farmers.
