Nothing a little high explosives won't take care of...

I was thinking about that... but the neighbor that shares that wall with me... is the chief of police in my town. Would be very very bad to get on his list.

You just have to approach it right: "Hey! You wanna come over and help me blow s__t up?" Poor guy probably got into police work to see action, now he is stuck behind a desk all day.

I realized I didn't update you all very much besides pictures, the system ended up being a bit more than I had originally told you. Instead of using the 275gal IBC's I ended up getting two 330's, which bumps my total system up to 700+gals all included.

Just planted the first 5 towers, each one has a different plant in them.

The blowing up thing is actually very appealing. My neighbor is the Sheriff, 1.5 miles down the road or so. He always shakes his head when I blow by his house with 110.

But could you explain to me how your towers work ? Remember I am stupid enough to blow by the Sheriffs house at 110, so a dummy explanation please.

The towers are basically vertical grow beds, they have high biological surface area, and helps to also oxygenate the water. I like them cause they are very compact space wise and can still grow a massive amount of food in a small foot print.
