Guest guest Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It has a tank in in where you put water, then a hose that drips the water out as the condensation drips in to the unit. The unit is slightly sloped inside so the water runs to the drainage hose. I keep my drainage hose tucked into one of those five gallon water bottles, so it is easy and mess free-I think in the video he may be referring to having it set up by your sink to drain in to it-sounds like he is overcomplicating a very simple process to me, lol Mine is no where near my kitchen sink! > > I've been watching the videos on youtube. What confuses me is that there is a part in the video where she mentions " Our optional misting system is done by gravity and has to be attached to your faucet " . > > What if one can't attach it to a faucet?

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 : In one of the videos showing the Mikro farm, the camera pans to a wall (right next to the mikro farm). There is a tube (long) that goes along the wall but you can't see what it's for. Now I'm imagining that with this mikro farm, there are sprinklers that turn on and off and that this is what mists the sprouts. Am I correct? Melody > > > > I've been watching the videos on youtube.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 What you see in the video is likely the drainage tube. The tank has little misters in it that spray the sprouts, and condensation builds up on the inside of the unit, keeping the sprouts moist. The drainage tube is attached at the bottom of the slight slope, allowing the water to drain as it drops down. I think some people may attach them so they drain into a sink, but a bucket will do fine-I like my water jug setup, since the hose won't slip out of it or the end won't be dangling in the water in the bucket. I will be planting in mine in the next few days, so I will take a video, just for you, Melody! > > > > > > I've been watching the videos on youtube.
