2. You can actually keep it very small and simple

You can do it with a couple of buckets, media as simple as gravel or perlite, and water by hand 3-4 times per day. You can recover the water/nutrients and reuse it for 7-10 days. I'm going with a little more elaborate system with timers and pumps to automate the watering by flooding and recovering a few times per day.

If it works out someday when I retire I'd like to have a greenhouse and perhaps do it year round, perhaps with acquaponics.
