    Re: Building Gary's system

    I am in awe over this system, it is absolutely beautiful! All this off of one IBC? I think you are an artist on space management. Am confused on elevation issues, but I will keep re-reading this and making sketches until I get it figured out. Thanks for sharing. aquaally

    Thanks aquaally...

    I think if you saw it in person....you could see how the water flows. Sometimes 'pictures' don't help..

    Re: Building Gary's system

    Everything is growing well. Glad we were in no hurry to put up the shade cloth...seeing as how the okra is taller then the structure. The smaller okra towards the back are younger plants then the ones in the foreground. They are just starting to produce.



    We are expanding...starting a new system. The reason we are expanding is... we have been selling a few things at a farmers market in Orlando.

    Got the area cleaned up....



    Worked on setting the IBC's today....





    When I had enough of the heat...I hid in the shade and cut a few barrels....



    I'll use 18 of the barrel halves for media beds.
