Dr. Bruce Bugbee Appreciation

[LD50]

This is drain to waste, Bugbee style. Fresh mix is made for every feed (every other day). You didn’t ask but I’ll tie it into Bruce. I purge my tap water until it runs cold, then fill a 14 gallon res with 4 gallons (if feeding 2 plants in 5 gallon pots) or 8 gallons (if feeding 4 plants in 5 gallon pots). Medium is 50% peat 50% verm. The water gets aerated by two air stones, and the salts get mixed by three aquarium jets. Bugbee had mentioned studying micro-bubbles and seeing good things. I swear this is a Bugbee thread! This all has an effect of slightly warming the water. Once at a desirable temp, I hit the go button and my pump system feeds. The pots drain to a collection bucket… looking for 20% runoff.
