Hi, just wondering if anyone could help me out with designing a drip system for soil. The spikes work fine for rockwool, but in soil they just drain into one spot and don't spread evenly. Any ideas?

Drip rings on a timer with a small fountain or aqurium pump. Then get ready for some time to dial in the timer so you dont under water or flood your grow area.

I like these http://www.blackholeshydro.com/. Just take an 1/8 inch drillbit and redo the holes and get the 1/2" in.
