I am building one with a shade house for a whole veggie plot, maybe five by twenty feet long.
I live in a dryseason/wet season place. I need a way to have my huge resevoir be self filling. A sump pump and a bilge pump drains something when the water is too high, backwards from what I need. I'm thinking a toilet assembly? Fills from empty to full? From a pressurized source.
Could I somehow just put a toilet beside my growbox? haha. I didn't sketch in a toilet sitting there!
