 Sketches of concept design 1 were made. 

This design consists of a PVC circular reservoir with a barrel shaped PVC grow tower, irrigation system, water pump, hose nuzzle, drainage container and outlet valve. The barrel shaped tower is place directing on the reservoir, above that includes a drainage contain. The tower has twenty net pot pockets for plants along with dummy holes to allow air to enter the system. An irrigation line was connected to the water pump vertically to the drainage container. Using a hose nuzzle, the nutrient water is pumped up the irrigation line through the nozzle and drained throughout the system via drainage holes. Excess water filled into the container was flowed back into the reservoir via overflow line. An outlet valve was installed at the base of the reservoir for sanitation purposes as well as a rubber sealed hole for the electrical cord to exit the system. The diagram blow shows a sketch of the intended design.
