I thought about doing 1/2" but how did you even out the distribution?

@Scott Yeah those are oleanders, one of these days i'm going to have them tore out. Not sure what to replace them with though, cause i like the nice green backdrop that they provide.

@Timothy Borg They are zip grow towers frombright agrotech.

@Bob, i didn't even try to use the drip irrigation cause i have lots of problems with solids as it is. I just used pvc pipe with 1/2 inch outlets.

@Jeff its a stepper motor I picked it up online for 20 bucks I think.

@Stephanie Bader

I'd like to know more about how you are distributing the water to each tower.  I used 1/4 drip line.  After about a month I ran into clogging problems even though I filtered the water through a drip irrigation screen filter.  I was prepared to clean that filter often, but cleaning out those drip lines became too much work.

@Stephanie, what are the vertical white things you things you planted in? rain gutters?

Matt, Cool fish feeder. What kind of motor did you use?

Comment by Scott Bloom on July 14, 2014 at 1:13am

Matt@ great looking feeder.  Plan on building for my systems when I get them all up and running.

Stephanie@ again good looking setup.  Question, are those oleanders in the background?  Need to be careful they are poisonous and can kill.  Have a friend that neighborhood kids fed his horse oleander leave(s) and killed it, so be very careful.

So the zip grow tower expansion we've been working on finally has plants in it! Planted some black eye peas and some basil. The basil variety is pesto perpetuo and i have three of them in my other grow beds already. I really like this variety because it doesn't flower and it doesn't get really dark when you make pesto, it stays a nice bright green.
