Here's a prototype to serve as an example. I never used this one because I decided to go with something more extendable with reservoirs separate from the trays like I've been describing. But the irrigation would be similar. In this case, there's a deli container that I cut to about half height in each of the net pots in the photo. The pump would fill the saucers with those flags, and excess water recirculates.
