Hello everyone.
I have spent the last few weeks researching and gathering info on vertical gardens. I thought I would throw out an idea I have been pondering. An experiment if you will and would like any feedback you others growers might have.
My plan is to construct a system that places x amount of pots
in a circle approx. six feet I.D. of pots. Each pot will slowly rotate.
The hole system will be located in a plastic kids swim pool or
constructed water tight tank. This will act as the reservoir. A small pump and timer will supply nutes to a stand pipes at each pot which will water each plant and drain back to the reservoir. I think a benefit is that since each plant is rotating around the stationary vertical bulbs, growth should be 360 degrees of each plant while still having the benefits of a vertical garden but without the time being spent with LST. Of course this is just an idea and things like how to drive the pots to rotate and what not will need to be worked out.
Any thoughts?
