Nothing too special, just some misting nozzles and some pvc.

The beds are 4x12’ with the heads spaced every 1’ starting and ending 2’ from the end.

    This is so slick. Was there anything about it you wish you did differently or learned after putting it together? I’m really tempted to do this too.

    I put a soaker hose in mine but I always end up going out and spraying a bit with the hose too, it’s too damn hot here and I’m sure my plants appreciate it.

      Honestly not overly, I’ve dabbled with plumbing before.

      Red seal Carpenter going on for 18 years, but I’ve also renovated my own house plumbing and electrical. This is just a larger version of an Aeroponics system I made for cannabis.

      When I’m doing projects like this for my house this always pops into my head.

      I had soaker hose last year, it didn’t survive to be installed again. This will be removed and put away for the winter.

      I do know I will cut between the T and 90 to install a disconnect so it’s smaller for storage though, but that was planned to not be done yet.
