Step 15Water & Potato bins
The water and potato bins need the exact same modifications, so just do the following twice.
Drill a hole big enough for the hose to squeeze through (you should have some practice in this by now!)
You want the hole as low as possible, so you can drain out as much water as you can.
Hook the metal wire, and silicon seal the joint just like you did for the end caps.
The potato bin will simply drain back into the small reservoir, while the water bin will need to be hooked up to a float valve.
You can either buy a side entry float valve, or even better, just follow my instructable on how to make a very cheap one here: Hydroponics Float Valve
I'll go into more depth on mounting the float valve later
