  • Yep, they came from Bunnings, I'm in Queensland. The solar pump was purchased from China but I can't find the name of the company. Found it by googling. Hope this help

  • What is the rectalinear (white) tube material that the holes for the pots are drilled in?  Is it a downspout leader? It doesn't look like what we have where I live if it is...

  • It's PVC pipe from the plumbing store.

  • where did you buy the solar panel?

  • i like how the system delivers water to each site evenly. saves the time of working our line pressure issues,cloggs and makes the best use of one small pump.

    plants dont need as much water without sun to evaporate it.

  • It is quite complicated with all the pipes, you could have done a simular set up using just a few. Also what else have you done with this system? Did it actually work? Because you are kinds starving the plants at night when there is no power to pump the water to them...

  • Seems a little over-complicated with the tubing to each pot, which got me thinking about alternative ways to distribute the water, and in a more dispersed way into the individual locations, so props for that. I also liked that you shared the way you make your own nutrient solution via "compost tea." Thanks for sharing!

  • Great video!Do you have a parts list you could share?

  • very brilliant

  • awesome! thanks for the vid - your dog is very wise . . .
