I recently read about the advantages of combining the inherent qualities of soil (micronutrients, benificial bacteria, organic composition) with a bubbler to gain the ease of use of a hydro unit. A feature that appeals to me is the fact that it becomes a self watering plant (the capillary roots wick moisture up to the root ball) so it eliminates any guesswork about how much water to give. Also, I read an excerpt from a book that states self-wwatering units stimulate growth by a great deal. I was wondering if any of you use this technique with success... Or do you have any blueprints floating around? I think the advantages of this system are inumerable, so fire away any ideas! :dance:

(included is a rough sketch of what I envision it might look like)
