I'm not watering from the top. My reservoir (another 5 gal bucket) is not in the pictures, but it is at the end of the line of buckets . I operate the watering with a float valve, but I have to load the reservoir by hand until I move my buckets back outside. You can see my plumbing in one of the pictures. I agree that you must keep the water level up to keep all the buckets properly watered.
I do mostly fertilize from the top because I believe the fertilizer settles in the bottom of the buckets and doesn't get to the roots. Salsacharley . I had a look at your setup and noted you're watering from the top. I believe you'll get better results when watered from the bottom, stops compaction.[/QUOTE] |
