Great watering. I wish I knew enough to construct a functional one(mechanics of it not pipe fitting).@chaos Sorry I don't have a better picture of the compost bins but here's the piping from the coop. pictured is part of the third bin. The pile in it is usually pretty small both because I pull compost from it to fill garden beds but also because it really shrinks as bacteria consume it. Keep in mind that no matter how much high nitrogen material goes into the compost, nitrogen flushes rapidly so even using fresh compost, you'll still need to add nitrogen for heavy feeders like brassicas. I have my killing cone on the post so blood flows into the first compost bin. However, given what I just stated about nitrogen, I'm thinking about moving it to the third pile.This is my auto nipple water system in that building. It holds almost 10 gallons. The high exit pipe is so water won't leave the system till it is full.
The right fitting takes a female hose fitting. The left fitting has a filtered vent that allows air into the system when unpressurized.
When I fill the system, I hook up the hose with low flow and run a tube into the gutter drain that goes to the compost. In case I don't catch it when it is full, it will just flow onto the compost pile.
