Message: [QUOTE="MitchM, post: 213988, member: 4402"] Thanks. One benefit of this system that's becoming obvious is that I don't have to have to be concerned about over or under watering the plants. The media beds fill and drain every 15 minutes or so. The plants all seem happy with that, or have adjusted accordingly. Already I have found a couple of the dirt pots a little dry, so the plants in the pots are not going to do as well by virtue of me not staying on top of watering them. I'm pretty sure I can adjust the nutrient levels and keep up with the bugs, but it's nice to know the watering aspect is taken care of. On the bugs side of things, the H2O2/alcohol spray doesn't affect the aphids. I still have to use insecticidal soap. I'll keep on looking for solutions that are available in Canada. There's also hair algae starting to grow in the media beds lately. I could harvest it and throw it out, but I want to see if it continues to grow as we come into spring weather. . [/QUOTE]
