those are nice towers I don't get the water pump you have dirt where's the water going
@Kntryhart Жыл бұрын
Sorry, I do not understand the question. There is a reservoir (tub) at the base of the tower. The tub has several galllons of mixed water and nutrients. The small DC pump pumps the water/nutrient solution to the top of the tower; gravity allows the water to flow down inside the tower (over the plant roots), back to the tub...and the process repeats. There is no "dirt"; for a growing medium I used a mixture of Perlite and Vermiculite. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

That is probably true. Thing is, the weather does things we don't plan for. Last year I got 30+ inches of snow plus high winds OVERNIGHT. If the greenhouse had no support, it would have collapsed like several others did nearby me. Cheap insurance so I don't have to even think about how much snow comes down. Also, if you get freezing rain that changes over to snow, it will not shed snow no matter how much you "whack" it. Building it once was fun. Cleaning up a mess, then building it a second time doesn't appeal to me. Good luck.

How long is the day when the water pump to grow the verticals runs the pipes
@Kntryhart4 жыл бұрын
Good day...thanks for watching! I am unsure exactly what you are asking... The 12-volt pump runs continuously (24/7). The nutrient solution (in the tote) is pumped to the top of the tower. Once inside the tower, the solution drains down and out the bottom of the tower then back to the tote (gravity); the process repeats. The 12-volt pumps are quiet and are economical to operate. The pumps have a maximum lift of about 7-feet (200 cm). Hope that helped. Regards!

Nice! Good ideas, which complement the TexasPrepper hoop garden design. First, I like the cattle panel idea. I live in Austin, TX, and know the PVC pipe won't stand up to the TX sun--I may not use the greenhouse much in the summer, but it will still take a beating from the sun! If I DO use it, I might consider insulating, it, to keep some of my plants COOLER! The bubble wrap idea sounds clever--also, covering part of the greenhouse to shade it and using windows for ventilation might work. . We went through a long hot dry spell last summer, with no rain and temps greater than !00 F every day for a few weeks. The leaves of some of my plants--even the top of a young maple tree--were fried brown! Maybe with a portable solar electric system I already have, I can use it to do some minimal cooling--just dropping the temp by 10 degrees could help.I also like the door swinging out, so I have more useable space inside, and the extra wood braces, and use of the vinyl instead of wood furring strips. We get some winds with up to 50 mph gusts at times, & I'd rather have the extra strength, and not worry about having to re-build, or, to recover the plastic. The use of cattle fencing on the ends means more money & more work. It might be over-built for some folks, but I like it. I also have dogs--and one especially inventive puppy! I need to discourage them from thinking they can dismantle any part of the greenhouse! For my climate, the black pool liner would cause problems with mold, but I can see why you're using it in NY. I've lived in northern climates, and it is a whole different situation, for sure! I bought some used Mexican talavera tile, (a red, low-fire clay tile) and plan to put that on the ground to have something to walk on. I'll probably put down pea gravel first. Nobody likes mucking around in wet mud! I'm impressed with your ingenuity, with the inside extra insulated container & the use of the BBQ temperature probe, and also, the underground heater. Clearly, you've put a lot of time & thought into your project. Check out the programs, like one in Nebraska, using geothermal heating & cooling. I live in the city, and also our soil is mostly clay & rock, so the cost for me to do something like that--which entails digging about 300 feet of 8 foot deep tunnel--would be cost prohibitive, but geothermal energy is essentially free, once installed, and is far too often overlooked. Builders putting in new subdivisions could install it, cutting down heating & cooling costs significantly anywhere it is used. I've heard that in Iceland, everyone has access to geothermal heat, taking advantage of some of their natural hot springs. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I've made notes, and will try to learn from your example, and save myself some time & unnecessary hassle. I'm shorter, and don't think I'm up to gardening to the degree that I'll need as much space, so I'm thinking two lengths of cattle fence for the top, and part of one more, to use for the ends, should work for me. Now I have a head-start, and I expect I will avoid many of the pitfalls I could have run into! I have plenty of extra lumber from previous projects, so mostly, I will just need the cattle fencing, 6 mm plastic, vinyl strips, some hardware and screws, and a working staple gun. I like to use either tape, or thin furring strips, in most places that need to be stapled, to prevent the plastic.from ripping. I might cut plywood for the north-west end of the tunnel--my house is skewed so that it faces south-east. So, from watching some other videos, one side --and it can be an end, depending on how you orient your greenhouse--doesn't really get any heat from the sun, and would benefit more from insulation (and in some climates, a reflective surface) rather than as a light & heat absorbing area. As my greenhouse won't be very large, it might be good to make that an end, which will help to stabilize the shape of the hoop, and additionally, minimize issues with the polymer plastic on that end....We'll see!

All we can do is to remove the excessive co² from it, and the culture you are planting needs a minimum of co² in the water which can be achived by air stones or venturi. I'll give you a link to build a mini venturi to help remove the co² from the water and you'll notice that even the taste and size of strawberry will increase. kzbin.info?search_query=venturi+aquaponics See ya,

@@Kntryhart Just for the record, galvanized pipe after 1960 does not contain lead. The zinc used is pure. It does however trap lead in it's corrosion, and in cities that still have lead service lines that can be a minor issue. Most lead lines have been around so long they have a coating inside that traps the lead, unless a ph change (Flint, MI) corrodes the coating.
