Good stuff pal, I'm an engineer like yourself and after watching this video was wondering if you could incorporate a high potassium feed direct to the sumps. I've been playing with compressing comfrey leaves. It's very compact and easy to manage, simply using a 10ltr plant pot stuffed with leaves a weight on top of the leaves a 1 mm hole drilled in the side around 10mm off the base. Basically it just drips as the leaves break down. (Bonus is there is no nasty smell like the water method) really simple and effective. Food for thought.

@@silentallotmentgardener Hello Gareth.😄 I did something a few years ago using a 9 inch soil pipe and a flower pot full of concrete lowered on a rope… used to compress the comfrey leaves. I diluted the liquid 10:1. Had good results from it now I just use the comfrey leaves in a couple of barrels of water and use directly after about six weeks of stewing. I have also got used to the smell 🤣👍🏻

What a cracking job Nigel,I watch most of the videos as you are not too far away from me,keep up the great work 👍🍺🍺

Hi Terry, bench space is at a premium in my greenhouse and I feel this makes full use of what is available 👍 🌻🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻

Excellent job mate. It probably works out a lot cheaper doing it your way than buying the self watering systems . It will be good if you ever go on holiday you won’t have to worry. All the best Nic👍🌶🌶🌶🌶

That’s an excellent job Nigel, as you know I’m a great believer in the wicking system and you interpretation takes it to the next level, personally I think one wick is enough so it will be interesting to see how two wicks work out, many thanks for sharing this, kind regards alan………….

Hello Alan, sorry for the late reply. The two wicks are to try and balance out the root distribution. We are approaching week three and the reservoir is half full, so four weeks is definitely doable with this system 👍 Many thanks for watching! 😀 🌻🌻Nigel…………MuddyBootz Allotment🌻🌻

This is one of the best and most useful videos iv seen for a while and if I can source the materials I may make the same sort of thing next year. One little thing, iv used similar trays in the past and gound they spread a bit over time . It may be worth putting a couple of bits of acrylic hlued to the underside to act as a stopper or fixing a support rod inside the tray . The trays may be stronger these days so only food for thought as they say . If I make one I'll try to do aswell as you snd put it on my channel.

although the pots are nt regular in shape , the measurements give a cubic capacity of approx 6270 cm3 .... divide that volume in cm3 by 1000 gives about 6 and a 1/4 litres volume.
