Growing vegetables on your balcony - Part 3 Final

I've been made redundant so we are moving back to NZ. Final video of growing vegetables on your balcony. Sprinkler system with timer worked well. Not enough sun made things grow a little slow.

Inspirational! One question about the watering system...the little red items on top of the tubes, do they create a spray or is it more of a drip system? I was just wondering since you said that the system only comes on for 1 minute a day. Thanks for sharing!!

They spray, a reasonable amount of water comes out. I just adjusted the tap from the washing machine tap to adjust the distance it sprays. It was set to just cover the containers.

Thanks for the videos..I'll start mines tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that you've been made redundant, hope things are working out for you.

you have a good system going. i think you are right about the need for more sunlight. I really like the containers you used, i will have to try that. thanks

Very clever... You need to apply your creativity with a larger space... wouldn't that be nice huh?

Thanks - I liked how you linked the tubs together on one system. Smart!
