I plan to have another 50 feet of table added to this section. The one thing I don't understand is why no one else has tried something like this. It seems easy and cheep and from the way I think it should work really well. I don't think I will have to add water to often maybe every couple weeks or so. The trough at the end is fairly large 3 feet deep and 3 X 5 used for watering live stock.

I plan to have Cannas, Bananas, Alocasia, Colocasia and other tropical plants for this system. I have another system which is a bit different it is in the shape of a U and the water is circulated from one end to the other which is only a few feet away rather than the tables I have shown here. On that table I will have more liners and trays of tropical. This year should be interesting and hopefully the plants I grow will be really healthy with good root systems. I enjoy it when they are grower ready to bust the pots.
