I can join in on this one:




But my system has slowed down now with the cold, it's all looking a little sad.

Thanks Colum for posting that video it looks good. once we get our green house built i will try and do something like it, probably in the spring.

look how our tomatoes have done.

Well I dont have a Brfore for this but I hope you all can appricate what we did with a Cucumber Harvest.
We made Bread and Butter Pickles, and Dill Pickels.

I haven't done anything on my system this week my wife had an accident at work last Friday and broke her right leg in two places. So I have been at the Hospital everyday. I hope my plants are ok. She has Surgery tomorrow 8/11/16, So I wont be able to even check on my garden until Saturday, Hopefully.

Sorry to hear about your wife, hope she heals up quickly .

As long as the water is flowing your plants should be fine. With plants growing fast this time of year, I would check on roots growing into the grow bed drains if you get back Saturday, that's what usually mucks things up around now and maybe you can nip it at the bud.

Owie! Best wishes for her fast recovery!

Just make sure you are topping up the water in the sump (or get an auto top up/float valve/tap timer).

I hope your wife is alright.

Well My wife came home Monday and other than being black and blue from Hip to Knee, with 15 staples in her thigh things are Ok.
We are about to shut down our A.P. system and do a major cleaning to solve some plumbing problems, our grow media is small enough that it can get past our basket Filter and into our pump and media filter. so I am going to add a swirl filter to get rid of this problem.
