an update on the student systems... the wheelie bin is going strong now with a number of small cucumbers forming nicely and the vines always full of flowers...

The IBC system has had 1 death so he is left with 44 barra in his tank... the cucumber in his bed have taken off over the past week or so (after being almost dormant for ages), and the rocket and shallots are doing well (those in the GB and those in the DWC style tub...

here is a simple image of how the grow bed sits on top of the wheelie bin system... the grow bed simply rests on 2 planks, the pump is below in the bin, and the GB is fitted with an auto siphon... works flawlessly!
