Automatic Watering Part II Global Buckets or Earthbox®

http://www.GlobalBuckets.org/

It's easy to build and grow using the two 5-gallon bucket container growing system!

Reduce global hunger with a low cost and simple way of growing food.

This foolproof method of gardening is very similar to the excellent Earthbox® method.

Like the Earthbox system, Global Buckets:
1) 80% reduction in water usage
2) 100% reduction in weeds
3) Takes very little time or effort.
4) No place to plant a garden? Great! This system works excellent on concrete...like on a rooftop in Calcutta.

Unlike the Earthbox method, Global Buckets uses locally sourced free or low cost materials, ideal for developing nations.

Great job guys. I am in te process of trying this out. Have you made the new type watering system like u described in the video. I would be interested in seeing how you did it if so.

Hey, that effect with the vacum at the end is something aquarium enthusiasts call the 'Romaurie effect' Google it and you'll find some simple and easy how to videos. You will need some form of air compressor though.

Personally I don't think this level of sophistication is required, you could manage it without the hose siphon, which would even at best fail half of the time.

couldnt you connect all the buckets just by drilling a hole in the bottom and runiing a hose from the bottom of the bucket straight to the next bucket

I am sorry, I did not see this video and I believe it answered all my questions. Great job guys, pat yourselves on the back for helping with world hunger.

Absolutely first class! Genious! I hope to add this system to my Earthbox Garden next season. Which I also plan to expand. Is there a limit as to how many buckets can be added to the system? Thanks for the info!
