I'm considering adding a hydroponic system to the polytunnel next year. Does anyone have any experience of the various technologies? Any advice appreciated as I wade through mountains of information.
I am finding it rather annoying that a lot of the info assumes i want to grow cannabis rather than tomatoes  |

| was planning to use 12v leisure battery with trickle charge solar panel like I use for the electric fence. I know I can get pumps that work on 12v like the Oase Aquasolar 700. |

| Hmmm. Just came back and it doesn't seem that bad. About £4 - £6 per meter of polytunnel, it seems for the trickle flow (plus pump and barrel). |

| Saw a programme on TV about that. It looked facinating. I shall be watching your progress if you do it. |
