My problem is I have 3 grow beds and one is now flooding over the grow media but the other two are not has anyone encountered this and do you know what to do? The system has been going since 2011 and has only been flooding in one grow bed since last summers crop. Any ideas?

Are all your grow beds connected together and do they drain together? Also are they all the same height? And what type of grow bed are you using?

If you do not have a control value, have one for each bed.

Are you rotating the standpipe gravel guard at least weekly?
