Looking good. One comment about your grow bed placement though. Emagine the growth you will be getting. Will their location be a problem in harvesting them?


I can reach everything easily now, because I have built my movable bridge :)

Plumbing is going slow, between Lowes and Home depot having their plumbing bins disorganized and a family gathering today, I think I finally have the stuff I need.
I have started dry fitting the parts and I also have the bunk feeders installed and may be able to test it sometime this week.

I got some water flowing last night! I piped the main supply lines with 1 ball valve for every bed and got the 5 poly totes running with 1/2" siphons (the 5 draining at once produce some flow of water!). Later today I will hookup the 2 big beds with their siphons.
I bought a 1450gph 110v sump pump, I still intend on using 12v but wanted to get the system up and running first, then I can work on that part of the system at my leisure, then the 110v will become my backup.
Does anyone know if it's more efficient to run 12v or 110 with an inverter?

Stevo, did you make the frames for the troughs or did they come with them? They almost look like trampoline frames. Very solid :)

They came with the troughs, that's one of the reasons they caught my eye at the ag store, they are very solid.
