for my 15 plant system
what i will need:
27 gallon snap lid tote
-http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=44066-51438-2921-002&lpage=none
a 100-155 GPH fountain pump
-http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=58695-48650-FP155&lpage=none
then tubing

i will need 3 tees they run about a dollar a piece i think. couldnt find it on lowes or home depot site.
2 bags of micro sprinklers
Full Circle Rotary Sprinkler
-http://www.mrdrip.com/microsprinklers.htm
a small air pump from walmart think these run from 10-15 bucks
-http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10291813
2 air stones
-http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10532636
and for some reason around here i cant find net pots so i was looking at using some atrium grates
very strange but It was the best i could come up with
-http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=21590-676-75G&lpage=none
so i think with these items you could get a picture of what im wanting to do
i kinda feel dumb explaining it cause the system is so simple but here we go
cut out the right sized cirlces for the atrium grates to fit into the tote top. Then move on to the fountain pump, connect hose to pump and T. Next connect split of the T to more hose reaching the atrium grates depth and pull to the ends of the tote. There I will attach the other T's and connect the left with the left and right with the right. It will end up like a oval shape with a line in the middle. After that I will put the sprinkler heads in the hose(This is one part i haven't figured out yet but ive seen people with this?). Next will be the air pumps (only necessary when roots hit water?) by pluging it up to the air pump from walmart, easy enough. add water plug them in and watch them go.
dont forget the timer 1minute on and 5 minutes off?
is there anything im missing here or could be done better/easier/cheaper?
