I use recirculating bubble buckets. I live in New England. Today, we have a blizzard keeping us company and it's supposed to bring some heavy, wet snow, classic stuff for bringing down lines.
Anyway, I got to thinking,.....being on the 3rd floot, in an apt, I can't run the john deere generator although, worst case scenario, I would. All my neighbors know what I do here (we are all older folks, 50's)
So I'm trying to brainstorm some ways to keep my girls going if the power went out and remembered the aerators used for minnow buckets (Fishing). Battery operated air pump[s basically. That's all I would need to keep them alive till we got power back, yes?
I can get these for $7, a pretty good insurance policy, $84 to cover 12 plants. Drag my trolling motor battery up when the power dies and we're back in business.
Also, I know flowering, I would just lose a day, or however the power is down for, but for the veg stuff, if it happens at night, would a few flashlights, or even candle light, keep them from flipping?
