how about winter, do you remove everything?
where did you get the reservoir could you put a link? thanks in advance great job
Why do you call it "Earth Garden" Design? Do you use soil in the cups?
Do you have a video on how you did the two garden one was with plastic bottle and the other was the plastic pipe?
What's the cost to run it?
Wow! Simple but really amazing. I saw a type of these design in a supermarket section to preserve some herbs/fresh plants but I never seen such design that is actually located at home. I found it very interesting and I am planning to build one for me as an experiment.
very good idea, it covers a lot of floor space
I actually hooked it up threw the aquaponics and it runs by solar -some design flaws on it not using the 4 inch pipe so used as a seed starter
how's it doing? do you let it run 24/7?
The 4 inch pipe is best it creates better water flow – the roots will grow down the pipe if you hdyro test your water often aqua let the fish do all the work
Isn't the water flowing down the pipes very shallow? I'm imagining it flowing at a high rate but only 3/8" deep or so. Is that ok? I'm a rookie here by the way.
it was a learning experience I have posted other comments to what the next design would look like
I threw away those pipes cuz I could not figure out how to put it on a table. I guess I should have searched your vid sooner.
A video on constructing that water butt would be great 🙂 It looks great and practical. Could you let me know how you have the water pump setup please. I am hoping to make a garden and the water pump seems to be the hurdle at the moment. I have been considering the Hailea HX-4500 which runs up to 2000 lph with a head of 2.3m. I didnt know if 2000 lph was iverkill though.
I built it myself – a few trips to home depot and a little online shopping
I mean horizontal water butt!!! 🙂
Great system. Where did you get the vertical water butt?
I have it set on a timer and it shuts off at dusk
does this pump run constantly OR set on a timer for 3 feeding cycles per day?
I might not get to video today
– 4 inch pipe increases better water flow
– 5in net cups
– The angle is fine
– Reservoir 1 gallon per plant
– I placed too many on 1 tube and to close
– I use timer dusk till dawn till dusk
– The pump needs to able to push water 6- 8 ft
