Patti ..Found it ..My eyes are getting bad as I thought the N was 11 ...but the true NPK from the website is
N-P-K 20 – 11 - 9 + iron, magnesium and a range of trace elements.
I checked the drum again with the 4 wicks and it sure is drawing up the water ....I will do several drums now with 2 wicks and clean the 4 wick one and change it for two....Seeing the way the ropes work I have to work something out of my plastic containers ...i am not happy with the system I have .....its too much of a risk for disease .....Allright for the seedlings but not for when they get put into larger pots....As far as I can see I need something that the container will sit on in a tray above the water line with a couple of wicks (not as thick as the ones on the drums...) Maybe some wide PVC tube about 3 -4 inches long carefully cut or I could attach to the pot with a silicon??
Regards Ron
