The drip system does work but not to my satisfaction. I have a 500gph pump hooked up to some 1/2" line. Then you take this little hole punch tool and make a hole in the 1/2" line insert a 1/4" barb and then hook up 1/4" tubing. I put 2 1/4" lines per plant. The problem is that the begging of the line has good pressure but the end of the line the water barley drips out. I could put some little spray heads on the end of the all the 1/4" line and that would even out the pressure...i think. Even if I had even pressure throughout the line the water just drips out and doesn't give you even coverage over the bed. So you would end up with a bunch of wet spots surrounded by a dry bed...So basically I just fill up the reservoir and drop in the pump and use it like a garden hose to water the entire bed. Maybe next grow I'll get all the bugs worked out of the drip system...I really need a miniature sprinkler system, not a drip system. I guess if they were in buckets a drip system might work but for a flower bed it doesn't seem to work.

The dehumidifier actually belongs to a friend, like a lot of my equipment. I think you can pick up a new one for around $100-$150 depending on the size...
