    You just made my day! Great system! I’ve been looking for a simple, cheap, easy and with as little interaction as possible system, as I have too much to do at the homestead, and yours is all of the above, thank you for sharing! Will be making one asap!

    I wonder if a mild compost tea would up the nutrient content. My chickens drink compost tea over filtered water and i use it to soak their grains for feeding. A worm farm would provide a suitable product and house it in the greenhouse and process excess product, or keep a mower there also and feed the worms lawn clippings. Alternatively, a molasses solution, or seaweed solution could be an easier alternative. Just spitballing here, your system is already amazing. As you know people out there spend a lot of money an complicated systems that would produce a product that is certainly no better than yours. This video deserves many more views and I’m sure that in the fullness of time it will reach the audience it is due.

    Your 8 day cycle may need some work as a lot are turning out their produce 4 - 6 days. Maybe lighting or humidity etc.
    Anyway fantastic start and hope it goes well for you.

    Your greenhouse in my opinion, is really good idea as its low cost and economical.but gravity feeding of water may cause extra moisture in this long tray that can welcome fungus and in this way seedlings may be rotten.
