My self watering bucket

I guess this my version of a Hempybucket or maybe closer to an Earthbox.
I used a 2 gal. bucket and 3 - 1.5"pvc connectors for the false floor, and a 1/2" connector for the overflow.
The 1/2" pvc pipe is for adding water or nutes to just the resivoir. The 1.5" connectors will also be filled with soil mix to wick the water and nutes up into the soil in the main bucket.

I am really not sure if I should just use plain water in the rez and put the nutes in the soil, or to use nute water in just the rez. I am concerned about being able to check soil ph by checking runoff water.
Anyone try anything like this?h-bucket-2.jpgh-bucket-1.jpg
