Morning glory in a bucket on a balcony. It’s watered automatically by a solar powered gizmo I made too.
minus-squareJacobCoffinWrites@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoThat’s really cool! I feel like you and @RoboGroMo will have a lot of garden automation stuff to talk about. That uptime is impressive - especially considering that it’s outside! Is it pumping the water or controlling a valve from the tap?
minus-squaremeyotch@slrpnk.netOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years agoThe three buckets each have different roles (starting from the right): electronics enclosure, water reservoir with a 5v pump, soil. So, no tap or electricity on the balcony. I have to schlep water about once a week, not too bad.
