Sorry for slamming out all the questions but I didn't see these topics anywhere so I decided to register and ask. LOL
I am going to try using troughs instead of buckets this time. I usually use a standard 2 gallon bucket filled about 3/4 way. I get 1 plant per bucket so in 4' x 1' space I get 4 plants. My room is 4'x4' so I get 16 buckets and 16 plants.
With a trough that is 4' x 1', I can easily fit 5 to 7 plants in the same space. The trough uses more dirt so the roots from all plants should have plenty of room to roam. Actually, more than they do with the 2 gal buckets.
It would seems that water would distribute nice and evenly in a trough with each plant taking the water that it needs from the whole.
I just don't see a down side.
Any comments on trough vs buckets?
Thanks
