I have been wanting to make a window farm for several months now, but I have some cash from a recent birthday, and I have decided to make an air lift system.

Got the tubing, zip ties, dowels and and tape for my first 3 plant air-lift system last night. Unfortunately, Menards didn’t have reinforced tubing in the right sizes, and the closest one had a really thick siding, and I was concerned that the air needles would be unable to puncture the tubing.

Instead, I’ll be using all vinyl tubes, and lots more plumbers tape. I have to get one more 1.5 litre bottle and a gallon bottle of water drunk, but it’s winter, so I should be hydrating myself more anyway.

Will there be any issues with not using reinforced tubing?  Will it all be ok?  Do I panic now, or later?
