DIY GreenStalk Automatic Watering System

I love my GreenStalk towers, I just hate having to water them multiple times a day to keep up with the Florida heat. This is my first attempt at setting up irrigation to the GreenStalk towers, and can say I've learned a lot! I will say it's easy to do with one tower, but if you are hooking up multiple towers you're going to want to get 1/2" tubing or greater to supply enough water to reach the tops of the towers.
Also important tidbit: make sure you leave your reservoir watering trays that come with the GreenStalks in so if you need to supplement for whatever reason, or your watering system fails, you have an easy back up solution.
Best tip: check each layer as you add it in, making sure you have good water pressure and each dripper has water coming out.
