gutter system is working out great! Walmart grocery bags as grow bags do not work well for me. So they will be out next year. Instead I will use 5 gallon buckets. I am using one right now. I have drilled about 50 1.5" holes in the bucket to get some advantages of air pruning and that bucket seems to be doing great
The float valve keeps the water reservoir filled easily. The capacity is about 4 gal. That gets used up in less than a day. and the valve fills it up in 15 minutes. So it is not a problem at all
However, Kerrick's 1/4 inch barbed valve is not 1/4 inch as sold by other companies. (raindrip). So they did not match up and it was a PITA to connect them
