I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.

Organic "teas" would be a bad idea, seeing as they would go anaerobic quickly. We only let our teas go for 48-72 hours, MAX before we dump em.

Yes, I don't think teas would be agood idea in a timer based system or a self-watering planter.

Hey guys, I also noticed some digital garden timers have rain sensors on them. Any thoughts on these? Cannabinofil: Unfortunately it's too high up the slope for the pump to work. The creek is way down in a shady valley. I'm waiting on a regulator and then I hope to set up a true self-watering patch at a different location, using a solar panel and 12v pump.

As soon as I plant my 2 main plots, I'll be setting up a couple irigation systems.
I also will be getting some self-watering planters built soon, those should be pretty simple.

Hey guys!
I plan on building an inground res very similar to yours backcountry. Except instead of an attachment for a pump, just have a piece of pvc with a cap to close it. To fill it, have something similar to brwndrtwarriors off youtube... Another piece of pvc with a 1/2" hole drilled in it stuck in a steam uphill from the plot. Then whenever I need to top up the res, stick a 1/2" rubber hose in the hole, then stick the other end in the pvc of the res. After im done, remove and coil up the hose, and throw the cap back on to prevent debris falling into the res. I know it would take awhile to fill, but would beat hauling bucket after bucket since I cannot use a pump in this location. Has anyone ever tried brwn's idea? Thoughts?

I've never designed a system that uses a pump, all are gravity fed.
I never saw a resivour in any of browndirts videos, I did see a 5 gallon bucket he used to collect water comming from the culvert, which he conected a hose to, and then he watered the plot with the hose.

Yeah, I did make a thread with a in-ground rez, but the intention was to use a siphon to draw the water, with the plot far down hill from it.
Here is a link to the trailer- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuP8zSflJ6U
