Grrr. Caulking tube is faulty, coming out the bottom. Time to break out gloves, and box knife and use finger gobs to hold my dividers in place. I think I’ll have to do a test run in the tub so I know if I’ve got the flow rates right. Pics to follow... maybe tomorrow! I may be a messy soaked mess today.
Here are the frames for my raised beds. I’ve got them set up on the west side of the pond. They’ll get full sun from 10ish to almost sunset. Around sunset the pecan trees just west of them will reduce light. But once the plants reach full size, I’m sure some will get more light. I’ll have tomatoes in one of the bins, might try some corn, stuff like that. The plan is put a bottom in about half way up, so plants will grow in over 1’ of soil in the 4 smaller bins, and I’ll try aquaponics in the big one. I’ll have herbs and leafy greens, maybe a melon and a cucumber to see if it works. Excess water will drain down, collect in a catch bin, and back to the pond. For the 4, I’ll try water only as needed, or slow steady drip, to minimize excess water.
