Hello to everyone. I have a crowded 5x8 space, with 28 plants in 10 liter pots. I thought that it would be a big hassle, having to water all these plants, maneuvering through them and so on...
I have a water source nearby (faucet). I use organic soil, water of my city has chlorine in it, so i needed to install a carbon water filter to be between the faucet and the watering timer i am going to use.
The plants are in 4 rows of 7. I decided to run a tee, running 2 3/4" watering hoses. I then connected 1/4" tubes and drippers in those two hoses, making sure to do the holes for the 1/4" tubes evenly and keep the lenght of the tubes the same.
For 1x3/4" hose, i run 16 drippers, for the other 12 drippers. Is there a problem with this?
Tomorrow i am going to run the system for the first time hopefully, putting plastic cups under each dripper, to see how they distribute water and how much time it takes for each dripper to distribute 1 liter.
Plants are still very young and they are in 10 liter pots already, i will not be running the watering system yet but i want to be ready for it in time.
Do you have any tips to suggest? Something else i could do? I know it's not Blumat but still...
