Anyone ever thought to blow into the drain holes??

Oh you guys are such squares....everyone’s doing it!

Lol

I’ve said it before, I am a tinkerer and I like to go hypothesis -> experiment especially when it is inexpensive or free. If it is also silly, that MAY or may not be a bonus

I also am not thrilled about the idea of putting my mouth on the containers. As I said, it was just a thought.

Now, maybe if I had a straw!

A “few”??? HAH!!!


Back to the subject at hand, for a moment. I know of at least one person who put a spacer to hold up the LECA and had an aquarium air stone in the reservoir. The idea was to “drive” wicking by having the bubbles carry the liquid upward, and to oxygenate the root zone better.

I’d bet LECA sitting in the reservoir would have moved more water, and while an air pump will certainly move more air through the medium than will Mother Nature, I really don’t know if it would be a significant benefit.
