It works!
Today was a big day, as we pretty much finished all of the physical aspects of our design. We put the misters in, filed the holes in the lid to make them fit the cups better, and put holes in the cups for the roots to grow through. With the misters in, we were finally able to test the complete water system, and we are happy to report that it worked flawlessly! The misters work great and reach the top with ease. All we have to do now is plop in our potatoes, clay covering, and some nutrients and we’ll be good to go.
Next Steps:
We are (again) hoping to finish everything up on Monday. This includes:
1. Cut potatoes to size
2. Put nutrients in system
3. Put potatoes in & cover with clay
4. Set timers
5. Start growing!
