Thankyou..Some great ideas ... So later I will sit down and study them all...Worth...the idea is to turn a single tap on for say 10 minutes and because each drum tray will be fed from a single pipe the trays will replentish...The smaller planter drums will sit on a capillatry cloth tilL I have my drum system working and checked ...the soil will not sit in water ...the soil will only get water from wicks...In saying this after last seasons disaster with capilary cloth ...when I emptied the planter bags i was taken back by the amount of water in the soil below...It taught me that just taking a soil dampness from the top may be quite different to what the roots are sitting in...I will be taking things very carefully and I will have a drum with a plant that i can check everything out on....
Yes the polypropaline rope looks ideal it passed my test ...
Regards Ron
