Questions and Answers / Re: Automatic Watering System Not Working

« Last post by Durban9653 on June 07, 2019, 10:53:35 am »

I’ve had an AWS problem for years.  I have an old AWS (5 units), but I think it’s pretty much the same design as now.  The problem is that water will stop flowing for no apparent reason.  This happens to all of them on occasion.  I loosen the screws silghtly, and water starts to flow, aas well as shut off when the box reaches level, but then they either stop permanently again or don’t stop at all.  Nozzle is clear, water is clean, replaced the regulator, plenty of water flow through the working units, but I’m constantly having to inspect and adjust.  Kind of defeats the purpose of “automatic”.  Any thoughts?

There are size limits and I believe you need to make 10 posts before being able to post images. I'll look into it.

I'd go 8 bush beans total to give more room for their lateral growth

Questions and Answers / Pole beans vs bush?

« Last post by KC612 on May 22, 2019, 12:13:44 pm »

Hello All,
I'm sure this has been covered before, but does anyone know if the planting chart refers to pole vs bush beans?  I'm assuming pole varieties, but am not 100% sure on that.  I have bush variety and was wondering the best way to plant?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks!!!

We had a fun visit from WLOX shooting a Page 13 feature of our Urban Nano Farm and showcasing our EarthBoxes. It gives a glimpse of my crazy garden. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks / Re: Tomatoes with Cracked Shouders

Some varieties are more prone to cracking. Might try picking at first blush and allow to ripen on the window sill or next to your coffee maker.
