Are you still using the "trash" pump?
I got one and some drainfield "drip" hose.
The overflow is just right to water the rest of the garden.

I read that you used 20/20/20.
How much,,when,,?
How did you "inject" the ferts?

Yes I will be using the trash pump again this year. Plants are so small im still using a watering can at this point..LOL! The pump works great. I apply my 20-20-20 mased on my observations of the plants and fruit. If fruit growth is slow i put it on heavy and when I was getting upper 30's and 40 lbs a day growth I cut it out all together for a while.

For the most part here is what I did. I have a 350 gal water tank. With every 100 gal of water I put in it I dumped in one cup of 20-20-20. I have a high presure hose to fill with and this did a great job of mixing the fert in with the water. I watered with the 20-20-20 mix just once a week (weekends)and sprayed fish foliar mid week once a week. Worked for me. [email protected] if you have more questions. One more thing, I dont know if one brand is better than the other (I would guess some are) but I used Lesco Macron 20-20-20 and wont try anything else at this point. If it isn't broken dont try to fix it. Best of luck! MF
