Yea I could probably rig up some automated watering. It's well water.....but hiding all the lines and things. It's so different in illegal areas guys. Your first thought is how to hide everything to the extreme. We could never have a plant that size and not get caught....a helicopter, neighbors, somebody would spot it, or nosy neighbors would wonder what your doing. These southern neighbors are different kinda nosy lol. I'm gonna be working on some container ers for next yr and maybe gonna try to rig up some type of automated watering. But if this rainy pattern continues next yr I'm gonna need something besides automated watering lol.
Yes I've used smart pots lol, but those container you guys use that are 500' 1000-2000 gal are homeade I assume?? I've just been wondering if they might be plastic lined inside. I've been thinking/noticing that my plants seem to grow better in a plastic container opposed to fabric. That's all, I was just thinking you guys might have plastic lined insides. I've got a smart pot I put a garbage bag inside of that growing very good....better than if I hadn't put a garbage bagn
Do you mean 500ft pot or 500gallons? They sell 1000g pots but most pots i see over 600g are home made. Most people using over 600g per plant are in beds or mounds. No one puts plastic in it. I know what you are talking about with the smaller smart pots not working as well as plastic. It's because the sides dry out. Not such a big deal with the bigger pots.
How do you get your water from point A to B without water lines? Do you haul it in tanks or something? If you could trench a 3/4 poly line that would be cool. Usually I just throw my main line in tall grass and then chop the grass a bit so it covers the line.
