Reservoir Nutrient/Water Tank Hole

| Deep Hole. Sand Sand.....SAAAAANNNNNDDDD |

| Digging. The white Styrofoam will be used for the side walls. Yes, I had a bigger shovel to dig this hole =) |

| Finally in the ground. |
This still isnt 100% complete. I need to run the return line for the runoff and direct it back to the tank. Currently, I'm hand watering them in the morning and at night with nutrients I mix up with water. My wife waters them while Im working(8am-5pm) and keeps an eye on them to make sure they dont dry out. I'm going to try and finish this week, or this weekend at latest.

| Look at this sand. Things cannot grow in this crap. The sand drys way too fast unless the plant has a very deep root system. Jubilee Harvest 2nd Jubilee Harvest this Season     |
Hey nice Jubilees!
ReplyDeleteI like the in ground reservoir idea. Looks like a solid outdoor system. Do you plan on using a pump to mostly empty the reservoir at change times? It looks like a 50+ gal barrel. I imagine superman would barely be able to lift that out of the ground! haha
Thanks! I made a pizza last night and added them babies to it. It was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I plan of using the pump to remove the water. Im going to put a 'T' in the line, and also a couple ball valves. This way, I can redirect the water out :) I need to get this done today, but payday is friday, so Im going to have to wait. I need to pick up a few things from urban sunshine (hydroponic store) and homedepot.
Yeah... I tried moving the barrel when it was full last weekend and pulled my back out. Not a good idea. My back is all better now :)
Here is an update on the plumbing for the reservoir to help redirect what out of the system - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24518653@N08/4861483433/
