If you are mixing different vegetable varieties in the different containers, then I would not use the EarthTainer water reservoir to feed the other containers. Salts and fertilizer for the EarthTainer's plants may not be beneficial (or too potent) for the other types of plants in the remote containers.

So, I still fall back on the scheme the Global Buckets youngsters came up with for this system outlined above. You will have to get a siphon action started initially (hint: put a little bit of water in each container first), then commence the siphon to the individual containers.
