    Is an inverter needed for this set up?

    So strange, I use 100% worm castings and it does well. I do use an organic fertiliser as well mixed in so maybe they just lack the NPK?

    Now I'd like to see the comparison of growth using worm castings from cow manure, compared to worm castings from compost. My guess is the castings from compost would do much better.

    I’m pretty sure you got most of this build info from MY video that I posted over 10 years ago. It’s always nice to give credit where credit is due. I’m glad the information was useful, that’s why I uploaded the video. Just sayin… “ rain barrel irrigation system”

  • @Amassakoul007
    @Amassakoul007 3 місяці тому

    Great set up! Only suggestion consider raising the barrels 2 to 4 ft. That should give you enough pressure to eliminate the pump and your solar system ( solar panel, charge controller and battery).

    there is also the factor that there's different quality of worm castings (more pure, vs more compost heavy).

    For the pump what pressure did you set it at?

  • @jilltompson2306
    @jilltompson2306 4 місяці тому

    Could be the quality of your worm castings. Try a different source. Or, several. To prevent the saturation problem use an equal amount of Perlite and/or horticultural sand with each soil. And, to ensure that the seeds are good - germinate all of them in a control soil before transplanting them into your experiment. Just thoughts. Well done for doing this video. And, thank you!
