I'm really hoping that I can do 5. I would have no way of accessing that side of the table without crawling through the forest. I have about 5ft clear to the dirt floor. That's why I have to dig out a path / reservoir channel. Maybe I can dig a channel below the pallets and pop up on the other side?!

So, a 20-25 gallon reservoir (4 liter per plant) would serve all 5 tables (one at a time). This may be a stupid question, but how do you know when you need to change the reservoir? Do you just do it every 10 days because that's the schedule? I don't have a problem with changing it every week if that's what is best. But how do you know when it's needed? I had just figured on going with the FF products, add molasses, check the ph, and roll.

How do you manually flush? Should I simply move the pump and drain lines into a separate reservoir of clean fresh water? This is important to consider because I'll have to dig another spot for that tub also.

That's good money OitW (+rep). I'll check to see if it's UV protected. It's for outdoor construction projects, so I would guess that it's rated. I'll check.
