yeah, that really is crazy, (my first reaction was "holly ballz!) I was a little overwhelmed about me getting a drip system into the garden this year with a timer, but after seeing that, I think I won't have any problem with my setup lol.. although it wasn't so much the issue of being able to do it.. just the money to spend on the drip system (just for watering purposes, with plastic hose irrigation lines with drip lines extending out each row, I use to install irrigation for a summer a while back)

but Trippa, I am pretty sure he said he was going to put a bunch in ground this year.. but that is a good question, he hasn't mentioned anything about it lately..

May do some in the ground after all...still not sure yet.....may have to....running out of $$ for pots and dirt...but my buddy whos a professor at UF Agriculture department says i shouldnt...too many problems going in ground in Florida...Nematodes at the top of that list....

damn that sucks, I was planning on heading down to FL or at the very least somewhere down south if/when I get into PA school in a few years, but hmm.... that is too bad, because if you could get some good soil and stick them in the ground, that would be so much easier and produce some big plants I would think, mainly because it's so fricking warm down there lately, and a nice long season..could probably check out what the professor would suggest to amend the soil, if it's something semi easy over the next year or so, could work for you in the future for some of the plants
 
Sick. Pictures don't do it justice. I'll be trying to get your way soon. Ha I'll bring the newcastles. Looking good dale. also need to borrow some soil lol. :)

i could treat it but its VERY costly and also it is recommended that when planting in ground here in florida you should rotate your crops every year... i.e. If you grow peppers this year next year you cant, grow corn or sugar cane or something then the following year back to peppers....so im like damn i dunno what to do with that info....i should just stay above ground and in pots! :) If i can afford to that is.....
 
Can you explain how you are connecting the drip lines from the single black pvc tubing? I see 4 lines from one source. What kind drip irrigation end piece are you using? the 1 GPH emmiter, or the multi drip emitter that sprinklers water in a 360?

I'm planning to setup something similar in my backyard for my 50 containers. Any help would be appreciated. Great work by the way!
 
You got it. Let me know. I was in Venice this weekend. Beach house and fishing. Weather sucked though. Wind was blowing hard on the beach. Didn't catch a thing.

The peppers in the buckets will produce your fresh pods that you are looking to sell, right?

Those plants in buckets looks like something from the Matrix - are you controlling their thoughts? J/K

Nice work!
 
Your a great insparation, I followed it all the time and hope I can realize something equal over here in Spain. Next week I'll start the nursery following your example.

Keep on doing the good work!
