Off Grid Solar Power – Automatic Watering System.
Today (Sunday 20 December 2015), I set up an automatic watering system for my small raised garden bed. I’ve got apple cuttings, grape cuttings, a self-sown cucumber and some self-sown tomato plants.
I’m not concerned about the cucumber plant and it’s going to end up with downy mildew anyway, but this will keep the cuttings and the maties alive while I’m in the city during the week.
I’ve set the timer to turn the pump on for 15 minutes each morning and afternoon. I’ve only got a single 100W panel charging the battery, so I hope that it’s able to at least maintain the battery in a reasonable state of charge.
