Best System for Peppers
I am going to build another system for growing hot peppers in, what would be the best system?
I am leaning toward either drip or bubbleponics. |

Certainly won't claim what I'm using is "the best"....but for what it's worth the system I've been posting about here is for hot peppers. The gardener in my case might need some substantial work , but the system itself has worked really well for me.

I have built a drip system using a large tray, a 90 litre reservoir and 8 10 litre pots.
Just need to wait until May so we have good enough weather to use it. Chris |

This will be in the house. I have limited room to grow these.

How many plants are you planing, and how much space? The system that I built can be custom built to just about any situation. The only must is that the reservoir needs to be below the system for the overflow to work properly. I also have an upgrade to replace the 2 litter bottles with a much more durable container, not exactly wider but you can make it as deep as you want (so it's kind of bigger) if you are interested. You can possibly even do a stacked teared design to space them closer together and up agents a wall. Each tear would need it's own separate overflow because they would be at different levels.

Probably 4 to 6, but the growing space will 2'X4' with maybe 4' of height to it, and maybe a foot above the floor. I have a metal shelf I plan to convert to a Hydro stand, and will be growing Lettuce in my E&F on top and Peppers underneath it.
