10:11 PM Tom_L: zhanx_workshop, i watched a show where they used those in a grow bed but had a large tank piped to a toilet back with the shutoff valve in it and another control valve so it would stay watered for weeks
10:11 PM rue_mohr: k
10:11 PM zhanx_workshop: Tom_L, mine will be solar
10:11 PM zhanx_workshop: with fish
10:12 PM Tom_L: so the toilet would drain into the bed when water was needed and would refill itself from the large tank
10:12 PM rue_mohr: the idea is to give the plants a brief flood?
10:12 PM zhanx_workshop: yes and the fish fertilizer the water
10:12 PM Tom_L: they were remote fire fighters and might be gone for a very long time
