>>1454071Good luck. Keep them watered as normal, but water out for overwatering due to the lack of leaf transpiration.
>>1454077I traded all mine for farming services from other people.
>>1454275You will need more than one backup system in order to filter the tank. Your backup system can be a normal aquarium filter system or extra plants to replace the dead ones. You should get some aquaponics water test kits to ensure the nitrates, nitrites, pH, etc. The largest cost will be the test kits since companies price gouge them. If you have some charts for your aquatic animals and plants, which show various diseases and what they do when being affected by too low/too high concentrations of the various chemicals you need to monitor, you can theoretically be able to keep things in check. Though, that will come from experience.
As a rule, small tank systems will go out of whack faster than larger system. Thus, you can make several smaller systems and learn more quickly what things look like when they go wrong. Then us that experience to move up to larger more expensive systems.
>>1454305As the other anon states, you probably want drip irrigation where you can lay out a main line then plug smaller lines into it which will be directed right to the base of each plant. Soaker hoses are good for long rows of crops, but their quality and performance is a real gamble.
>>1454396The same as every year now. Hungarian wax pepper and gypsy bell pepper. Only tons more gypsy bell peppers this time around. I just ran out of the dehydrated ones two days ago and it is killing me.
>>1454420I remember seeing the first video a few years ago. It is pretty neat, but I've yet to have a need for it. If I do have a need for a specific low-pressure automatic watering system, I'll just use the same thing that those 2-liter bottle pet water bowls use. There's no moving parts and no chance of failure (pic):
