    A way to fill my growbeds one after the other ?

    Hi, I have set up a barrel system but would really like to fill each grow bed (I have two half barrels) one after the other. i.e. when one finishes its cycle the other starts to fill. Ive been thinking of a way but cant seem to come up with one. Anyone any ideas ?

    Hi Cash-matters, You could try a sequencing valve if your 'pumping to' the grow beds. TCLynx has been trying some low pressure/gravity set ups with the valves.... she may be able to make some suggestions.
    It's been awhile since she was here at this site. You could PM her through this forum.
