Simple irritgation system

DIY is also an option. They sell everything you need at Lowes/Home Depot or Amazon. Floraflex is a good system though.

Nice thing about drip irrigation is you can use it for soil, coco, or any DTW setup. I could switch to any of those, and would only have to change the grow medium.

I use a 30 gallon rez and it allowed me to go on vacation for nearly 2 weeks while everything was left on auto-pilot. First time ever doing that, so it was a little nerve wracking, but worked out perfectly for me.

I use short-interval timers that allow you to program hours, minutes, or seconds ON/OFF. These are a godsend, and allow me to schedule watering/feed however I want.

That's what I was thinking. I have some cheap micro sprinkler for a flower beds at my house. I was think of just using that. So easy to set up. It has a hole puncher to place sprinkler lines anywhere amongst the main line. I just have it set up on the spigot obviously but if i could convert that to attach to the pump. It always made feel that Im overthinking the system for my plants.
 
What are most of you using for the runoff?

FloraFlex’s platform drainage system seems fairly inexpensive, and a good overall design. But I don’t have a nearby drain to run a drain to waste system. So need it to collect somewhere. The Bucket Company’s pump (https://www.thebucketcompany.com/pr...j2aEogFEYpjg2_c0ZOI5I21nqV8wLnKeVxmDieiBzZHV-) seems nice, but a little pricey. And making your own would involve a $20 bilge pump, but raising the platforms up to house a collection container seems a little unnecessary/excessive.
