My Fertigation System For The EarthTainer / EarthBox AWS

rnewste · June 18, 2014

Worth,

My estimate is that the water flow rate through the AWS is approx. 40 to 50 gallons per hour (once every 24 hour cycle) to top up the 35 EarthTainers, once they have been initially filled.

The EZ Flo dispenser is injecting the diluted fertilizer mix into the AWS at a rate of 1:100 (on the "fast" setting) adjustable down to a 1:1000 ratio (on the "slow" setting).

Now, I just need to run some calculations to align both the dispenser mix ratio, as well as adjusting the "blended" flow outbound from the EZ Flo into the AWS.

Make sense?
