Learned a lot from the farm but can't seem to find a thread on irrigation that applies to what I want to do.
I want to be able to water 24 plants in 5 gallon smart pots of organic soil. Seems like there are always times when you should be watering but can't. So I'm thinking if I can leave a 55 gallon rubbermaid reservoir with a pump and a timer I can set it and forget it if some other business comes up. That would give me a litte over 2 gallons of water per plant, which seems about right. I've never done this. So my question to the farm is will this give me even distribution to all plants and what type of dripper, bluemat, halo rings are the most effective and least problematic?
