Tower Garden Flex noob
New to this… have a tower garden flex I got at an estate sale on a whim. So no instructions, and no timer (got one on Amazon. Went with the old school analog dial 15 minute ones because the first digital I got went out.)
It’s got a mix of all manner of stuff. Tomatoes, lettuce, squash, cucumbers, mint, basil, eggplant. Yeah, it’s all different and I’m sure the rules say they all need different nutrients but I’ve grown that mix of stuff side by side in the ground so can’t see why this would be any different.
It’s all growing like mad. Using MegaCrop because it’s way cheaper than the official nutrients and everything I read says it works the same.
Two questions.
How much water should it use per day? I know there’s no real answer because every plant is different. I haven’t measured but will take notes this week when I add. I suppose they take what they take.
Main question:
These roots… they’re gonna be in the pump momentarily. And I’m not sure they won’t clog the drain at the bottom of the tower. Should I trim them? My guess is they’ll just come back… would this be causing more water uptake than I really expected? Not that I’m mad or anything but just trying to decide if this is a problem I should attack.
