i decided to make top drip/ airoponics system of my own design, it needed to be durrable and free-standing.
"why not make some 3" pvc colums and have 360* sprayers in the top and let it all drip down into the resivoir?" i thought to myself... so easy but still efficient. so i borrowed my moms van and went to lowes home improvment warehouse... i bought $75 worth of pipe and hose and everything i needed. time to assemble- now anyone who has ever tried to cut 3" PVC knows its tough to cut it without breaking it so it took a little while to learn the propper technique. i made a big "H" shape with verticle tubes where the "x" are...

i got it all finished and turned the pump on and there wasnt enough perssure to make the nozzles in the top of the 4' colums spray. it was very dissapointing. so i scrapped that system idea.
unfortunatly since it was built in 1 afternoon and was destroyed that night there are no surviving pictures of this system.
