aeroponic lettuce tower made from 4 inch pvc

yes its working, just need to get the nutrients right as well as this was roughly done, some of the slots are too big

first two pics are approximately 10 days before the 3rd pic












2nd one is a barrel tower/barrel planet

in each of those 36 slots you can plant something
be it strawberries/bandania/chive..even lettuce...anything you want...the barrel is going to be filled with soil

also have to bore some drainage holes

will let allyuh know how it goes

The Ministry of Food Production hosted a re-commissioning ceremony on Wednesday 13th November, 2013 at the Marper Farm Station, Plum Road, Manzanilla. Located on the foothills of the Central Range on ninety four (94) acres of land, the Marper Farm Station is rich with history as it is with beauty.

Hey Guys...Im looking for a solution to a problem we have at home...

My father has Dementia ...so he walks around doing stuff like opening the fridge, moving the bags,opening the windows and the main issue leaving the kitchen sink on....

This is a problem because of the flooding and the fact that if we on the tanks we can run dry....
he has episodes where he wouldnt sleep for more than a 20 minutes for days at a stretch..
Mom and Dad live alone so at times we let him roam while she gets her rest...so he roams and does his thing unsupervised..a

We need a solution to the kitchen tap like a timed tap or a pressure switch -Something like the garden hose nozzles that you need to squeeze.

Weve actually run the garden hose through a nearby window and jerry rigged it so that its now the kitchen tap..he can squeeze it but it will cut off once he walks off

He has hosed down the place but it seems out of vogue thankfully...

IS there a proper solution?

Why don't u lock the kitchen sink off from underneath ?

Why don't u lock the kitchen sink off from underneath ?

Because he needs to use the sink still I'm sure

[Chimera]

What about one of those automatic sensor taps like what they have in bathrooms? Where they come on when you put your hand in front the sensor

[cinco]

Why don't u lock the kitchen sink off from underneath ?

Because he needs to use the sink still I'm sure

Turn it on as needed

Then he would have the same issue. His father will turn it on and leave it.

[Redman]

Cinco once he sees us doing that he gets curious,and moms physical condition makes the back and forth under the sink tough.
I'm looking at the taps from Brydens

[Redman]

Well I have to make stuff easy for mom who isn't mobile all the time...they live by themselves ...

We disconnected the pilot light on the stove and mom uses a welders scratchy thingy lighter...so matches are gone...

And the lock off for the stove is used once she is done cooking.

The kitchen sink is the last real issue that remains ...

Amazon has electric 12v water valves and 12v electric timers. I was looking at them for an automated irrigation system for my home garden.

Maybe with some thought they can work for your problem

[Chimera]

Amazon has push switches for 40 to 80 usd. I think that's the best option

[Redman]

Thanks guys,
Aba I've searched Amazon for the push switches only seeing electrical switches
Can you link it please,

Thanks again for the ideas.
