Might want to check out this thread, there are tons of designs in there: https://www.rollitup.org/t/sip-thread-sub-irrigated-planter.904886/
It takes a second to wrap your brain around but it's a really effective irrigation system

Excuse me brudda do you use spikes and a saddle or just run up there and is that pvc for drainage or what. Dude this is awesome and not sure why I do it but it’s definitely for a reason of your choice and that’s good enough for me. Just be careful climbing brudda

Hello welcome aboard ,
No spikes i climb tree in
thongs( flip flops )
its about 20ft up and an easy climb.The pipe you can see at the top of the SIP is to top up the resvoir .
Theres a false floor and a wicking foot into resevoir .

Brooooooo. You’re the man homie. One day can you give some more details on how you made the false floor with the reservoir in the bottom. And is that nutes on top the soil bro or do you use nutes In The water. Man you got this right figured out and I’m a fan my friend. Good growingsHello welcome aboard ,

There's 2 buckets used and there's a drain fitted in the bottom of the bucket that is extended up on the outside to just below the false floor to always keep an air gap between soil and water ,you can spin the drain sideways to drain it .
I use cloth weed mat over all the holes in the false floor and the fill pipe should be cut on an angle at the bottom so it doesnt seal against floor of bucket and it should have a couple of 6mm holes drilled in the side of the pipe below the false floor (this is done because if you top water a little then try to fill resevoir via fill pipe it will push water out the drain pipe because air cant escape through the dirt because its wet and resevoir wont fill properly)
I use MegaCrop when i water it .

I like how you got that set up brudda. You got her dialed in and I’m a fan sir. Was just curious if you where applying solid nutes and allowing rain to dissolve and apply that way and how you didn’t lose sleep at night worrying they would burn up.
