OK, I see the pic of the valve. Was there another pic of something else?

Bathroom toilet tank float valves can be adapted.
Look into ebay for float valves, solenoid valves, aquarium water pumps, etc.

Feldon,

I think that poster used tomato tone or 10-10-10, regardless, they added compost into their potting mix. I wish I could remember where it is to be more exact with what I am repeating.

Here' what the earth box folks will be selling soon [got permission from King to post the pic]. The valve goes in the pipe and a 1/4 inch hose conneted to the nipple on the valve. I was hoping something like it was already available, but it is not.

dcarch, can you direct me to those websties/people who make their own?
