Update one year later
So, now I’m going to give an update, the second season is in operation and works very satisfactorily.
I got myself two of the Gardena balcony watering systems, which are actually intended for watering during vacation absences. I’m not interested in the included drippers. Purchased additional materials: much more than the included 10 m pipes (60 m, but quite a bit was scrap due to trial-and-error ;) ), several small bags of L- and T-connectors, and for each container a 20 L/h nozzle.
In total, six flexible PVC water pipes with a diameter of 4.6 mm each are attached. They go from the water barrel via L-connectors into cable ducts from the hardware store. I bridge the vertical metal glass dividers with further L-connectors.
From the pipes, I branch off the water supply to the individual consumers using T-connectors. Works very well, even the hanging planter gets more than enough water.
Tendentially, you do water too much (20 liters already go through in 3 minutes), but the Lechuza containers have an overflow, so waterlogging cannot occur.
Best regards, Herbert
