I really wanted to watch the whole video. Can you make a quicker version. This seems more like a deep deep dive of taking the long way to get through this video.
Hi there ...thanks for your comment. My aim was to highlight all the details to help anyone who was thinking about creating an automatic watering system for watering their plants. 'Inspiration through knowledge is one of my favourite mantras'. I haven't used bookmarks in this video (which I'm sure would have helped you navigate to the parts you're interested in). However I have started using bookmarks and your comment encourages me to continue using bookmarks. The short answer is no I don't intend to create a shorter version of this video......happy growing to you.
Great ideas. I'm going to instal a small scale version for my small collection, too. Can you supply a link or tell me where I can buy that type of float valve, please? I live near Brisbane, Queensland.
Hi there .......great to hear you're going to give it a go. It worked well for me and the float worked great. I'll definitely add a link as to the float valve specs and where I got it.....happy growing to you!
Hi there .....I had a look at my invoice for the float valve in the video. Unfortunately it only says 'float valve'. Anyway I just took a quick measurement of the valve that appeared in the video. The float (the part that actually floats) is: 8.5 cm long and 4cm wide. The water inlet is a quarter inch in diameter. I purchased the float from PSI Water Filters. Cheers
@@succulentflytraps Thanks for the info. PSI Water Filters are located in Launceston, Tasmania. However, I've discovered a smaller unit ($8.00 as opposed to $15.00 too) around the corner in a Hydroponics Shop.
Hi there .....yes it is a bit complex. The nature of using wicks means you can't just place the pots into water trays. However once its all set up it works quite well and you can just leave it alone.

Seems unnecessarily complex
