True, I was needing to update the diagram. There will not be a secondary reservoir, no recirculation (which I hope is the most stable way for me to do this).
The trick for me will be to figure out a few things:
- If I sink the reservoir into the ground it sounds like it would be more of a challenge to flush it, clean it out, etc? Is it worth it to sink it into the ground, or maybe find a solid white 55 gallon drum or something smaller?
- How often do drips really run to be as efficient as possible, and at what rate? Does it run at night?
- Should I just make the link drip into the middle or use a hoop style drip line?

Is it because the tubes with the plants in it will be below the water level in the main reverser. Also what helps solve pH fluctuations/ nutrient deficiency is a larger water volume, not how the water is delivered to the plants. Unless of coarse it's a non recirculating system (drip to waste), then water volume wouldn't mater. |
