Tell me about your projects? (infosec.pub)

I've been slowly converting all of my outdoor lighting to solar and adding more rain barrels for my garden. This got me thinking--what are the rest of you working on? I'd love to see and hear about your projects if you feel like sharing them.

Thanks in advance, I hope you're all having a wonderful day!

Still setting up the new house - so far got the entirely solar powered lighting for my workbench in my office going, and parts of the solar watering system as well as the solar powered garage vent

Gonna repurpose the maze mini tanks from the old place to increase our total storage - setting up an interlinked system with floats so that the 2kl gutter fed tank will automatically keep the smaller ones topped up (which then feed the irrigatia and wicking beds).

Also planning out the solar powered lighting for the basement...busy busy busy...

I'd love to hear more about the watering system!

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A lot of it is built around the waterwand / irrigatia system - fantastic units, cannot recommend enough.

Once again my life is hampered by the fact that I do not live in Australia . . .

Irrigatia are the Eu/ US brand, try searching on that.

It's literally the same two brothers working together, one just lives in Australia and had to rebrand due to existing trademark kerfuffles

Oh wow. Thank you for the heads up. I will look into this right now.

Rainmaker do the same thing, but they're a knockoff

Good to know, thanks for the heads up!
