Gravity-fed irrigation ⚙️ Equipment

An irrigation method where water flows from an elevated reservoir to plants through pipes and drip emitters using only gravitational force, requiring no pump or electricity for delivery.

The farm's outdoor greenhouse irrigation is entirely gravity-fed from raised res tanks. Dakota describes it as 'irrigation 1.0' and notes plans to potentially expand to gravity-fed Autopots in the mother greenhouse as well.
