    Please don’t be such a jerk about it. I was saying that because I had recently posted the comments. As to help with some who asked how long til the water needs to be fertilized, 1) read the instructions they seem to be there for a reason 2) a season is typically 3-4 months with a system like that you could potentially lengthen the season by bringing it indoors/other 3) once a month is about how often you need to fertilize in ground 4) check the solution’s composition with soil tests.

    there’s a million previous comments, might as well tell me to off. Thanks for nothing.

    Try making the water “run” so to speak so that the mold wouldn’t have a chance to grow. Try making the water have big (it’s also important to have small as well) bubbles continually going to make the water active.

    The pump would probable be best left on the plants need oxygen to “breathe” in the soil and the pump would supply that. As for the other question, check my previous comments.
    Thank-you!?!?!?!

    Plants need oxygen and get it from their roots. It’s kind of like they need it to “breathe” in the soil (in this case water).

    Potentially but I would recommend one because the plants would be competing for growing space.

    I don’t know about you guys, but pause at 3:36. I thought that that was hilarious! Anyways this was pretty helpful.

    Great video! I have some questions. 1) How often do you have to change the water, PH, or how often did you add fertalizer/nutrients???? 2) did these pots turn out to be too close together for your peppers or tomatoes? 3) what happens when it rains? do you take out water? adjust PH/food etc?
    Thanks, great job…
