Two seperate issues
@SSGrower
Last year the handle on my pail broke as I was transitioning over the threshold.
The pail hit the floor and I had a 4 gallon flash flood on my 60's Oak parquay floor.
"Statisticay, I suck" ,,,
Hindsight is supposed to be 20/20 but I am now hauling water again in an identical pale with a sun-bleached plastic handle.
I dont replace light bulbs that still light, and I don't change brakes that don't show squealing rivet heads.
That handle will break eventually, and I will be there when it happens.
Mini cell is a seperate issue.
The plan was to wick, SIP, and wetfoot the pails. ,,, that is what I am doing in the mini cell of three.
In the other cell , I am angling a diff. approach. Because I underestimated my stingy~ness; my current MO is to inject enough water (at lights on), to have the table dry after 24 hours.
Yes, I am too cheap to be comfortable seeing all that standing nute.
Seems to be working, the media is so light and forgiving. It is like training wheels for the irrigationnaly challanged, such as myself.
