have not had a chance to look at links yet, so do they just keep a constant amount of water in the pot reservoir? Wouldn't that deplete DO to the roots severly?

Hi guys,

I've been aware of these in Hydroponics for a while and also a concept called "Dutch Pots"...

In Dutch Pots nutrient is drip fed from the top and gravity drains back to tank...

Also been using an NFT type pot system that works much the same ...

So I figure why can't we incorpoate an AP style approach...

At least that's what I'm going to try ... feed the heavy feeders first through the nft/pot system then drain to grow beds etc....

Initial plans for system posted in members area...

Any thoughts, oh and buy the way Steve I think it was you that wanted to maybe do fruit trees??
