 If you decide to build your own, there are plenty of books, websites and online videos that will show you exactly how to do it, depending on what type of system you choose. You'll need a nutrient tank, delivery system and housing for plants - either in pipes, raft or a medium-filled tank. Interviewee Joe built his own system with reclaimed materials for £600 in total, including £200 of epalyn liner (25-year guarantee). Pond liner from a garden centre is much cheaper. He aims to produce around £300 worth of food per year.
