Part 5/15:
The system involves flood-and-drain cycles—recycling rainwater stored in tanks sourced from the property—ensuring minimal water waste. Each tank, holding between 100 to 300 gallons, feeds into the elevated beds through automated pumps triggered by timers, flooding the root zones from the bottom to hydrate roots directly. Afterward, excess water drains back into the reservoir for reuse, creating a closed-loop cycle. This not only conserves water but also maintains a consistent supply of nutrients directly accessible to roots, leading to healthier, more nutrient-dense plants.
