Step 8"SPROUTS!"

  • backbone with connections off of it.jpg
  • pipe that was embedded in soil.jpg
Making the little sprouts to take the water from le backbone to your plants is simple

I will attempt to consolidate it to 3 steps

1. Puncture Le Backbone with a small screwdriver
2. Screw a 13mm to 4mm Hozelock connector into the hole. It WILL go in >=]
3. Attach about 1 metre of 4mm tubing onto the connector.
4. Glue if you want, glue over the little connectors to prevent leaks with something like... araldite.

Repeat for as many watering tubes/sprouts that you need.
If you find you get leaks, Glue the tubing watertight with copydex or similar glue. Just remember to disconnect the main plug before-hand. *personal experience, turned pump on and I got some gluey sludge all over my windowsill...*
