<p>Thank you Mathew :)</p>
<p>Yup, and then there's that. I'm quite sure you are right, and that in all likelihood roots would eventually begin to travel, but thankfully their are self (root) pruning fabrics (like the stuff SmartPots are made from) which should take care of that.</p>

<p>Ok Jon, how's this for a clever way to drain the pots..? This is a new design that Rade Kosanovic and I have been working on. It's kind of our "Window Garden 2.0"...There is a commission that will decide which project will get funded. You can vote for our design on this link (if you like) <a href="http://www.interfacereconnect.com/competition/entry.php?id=289&offset=12">http://www.interfacereconnect.com/competition/entry.php?id=289&offset=12</a></p>

<p>All you have to do is click on the either 'facebook', 'G+1', 'twitter', or 'in share' (depending on what social media services you happen to use) at the bottom of the links page. That's it. Voting ends April 15th.</p>
<p>The water feed line runs along the top of the curtain...the nutrient filled water runs via gravity down through the curtain and collects in the return line at the bottom...I'm pretty anal about solids and bio-slime, so we're doing this mineral hydro at the moment...some of the other logistics (and space requirements) are just way simpler than with a bio-ponic input method.</p>
<p>Any feedback would be welcome :)</p>

<p>I'm trying to consider aesthetics in the design of my system (currently under construction) but must say that, on a limited budget, function trumps form. I built a 200 gallon FT but had to bury it about two feet into the ground because the main consideration in building my system is that my grandchildren have access to the growbeds. I'll be posting my first pictures after the new year.</p>

<p>Charlie Bacon of Ecolicious makes the best looking systems I have seen thus far. I have taken the concept into my own designs and created my own aesthetic garden that at first glance looks like a normal raised garden. No pipes, no wires, no plastic. Just a wooden box, plants and gravel. As I live in the desert of the southwestern US I went for a rustic look with recycled lumber.…</p>

<p>Thanks Bob, (the darn link worked when I posted it) I talked to Rade today too...I guess the webmaster who host his site is trying to get a handle on it. Thanks for the new link...</p>
<p>If you or anyone out there has some good sources of info on keeping/rearing Australian Red Claws/Crayfish (<em>Cherax quadricarinatus)</em> feel free to post those links here or e-mail the info to: rade@kosanovic.rs</p>
<p>Any good info would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Yeah those wires/rods carry the electrical current for the lights. Those 4mm drains do work great for the mineral hydro, but my belief is that they are not so hot for AP... and need to be re-thought for an AP app. It takes folks a while to wrap their heads around some of the differences you encounter in any kind of organic-hydro as opposed to mineral inputs. Stuff like bio-slime and whatnot...</p>
