I’ve noticed that my airlift worked quite well! Well enough to add 3 more bottles. I’ve used a T-split on top to split the water stream in two. And it works!
Good stuff! This was exactly what i was hoping would work for my 2 column setup. Thanks!

Nice. Cool looking farm
Thats really neat!
Congrats. Wish I had thought of it.
I’m just fishing around for ideas, and yours looks like a winner ( for me ) Thank you!
Great idea.
“Like”
Thank you all for your kind replies!
I think I might be pushing my luck, but I’ve got a feeling I can actually add 3 more bottle’s to this setup…
I just did a test run with my windowfarm in the making, and i used your idea to split the water stream. It works perfectly, however i did notice that turning the t-joint only the slightest bit, influences the distribution of the water.
In other words: If it tilts to left, the left column is going to get much more of the water than the right column. As long as you can keep an eye on -, and control the angle of the t-joint, this is a feature rather than a bug. (-:
Thanks for the tip Burt – I’ll keep an eye on it!
This is an awesome. I may use your mods

Where did you find the T fitting to fit that size tubing?
@Latoya P:
I got it at my local petshop. It’s used for aquaria I quess…
I like the look of this – what type of bottles did you use? What size of net pots did you need for them? Thanks
@Amy Folz I used regular soda bottles that contain 1,5l. For the water reservoir I used a larger one (2l)
I actually didn’t use netpots but small disposable cups and drilled some holes in them.
