This planting table is made from a refrigerator door and pallets, plus some lath strips for the hanging rack across the top. It cost no money, since I already had screws and lath, and my hubby brought the rest home from work.

For the back and sides, I wrapped cardboard in aluminum foil, and taped it to the sides of the tank, except the viewing side. I then use Saran Wrap on the top, as the tank did not come with a lid. This results in great color, and healthy fast growing nepenthes due to the humidity. Just remember to fertilize or feed them, as they can't catch any food on their own because the tank won't have openings. For germination and growing smaller nepenthes, this is a great setup you can make, for cheap.

This is my attempt at hydroponic lettuce. I used one bottle for this, cut off the top half, stuck it in the bottom half, put a cube of rockwool in the top half with the seeds, wrapped a long fluffy string around the rockwool to absorb nutrient water, and it grew. Not very fast compared to regular lettuce, but I suppose it worked.
