Hi,
I have used a few bubble pots each with their own air pump and stone. Now I am putting together a larger system with 9 20l pots.
I was wondering would it be just as good to have a lot of air being pumped into a central reservoir and that oxygen rich water is then pumped through the buckets with a powerful water pump. This would be instead of having 9 air pumps.
The reason I am wondering this is because water becomes oxygenated from the bubbles when they burst on the surface (?), and so it shouldn't make much difference if the water is moved through every bucket so the plants get the oxygen rich water. Or, do the plants benefit from having their roots in the bubble stream?
