Again this year I will be using drip ring systems to grow Giant Marconi peppers. A simple air pump is used to force the nutrients from the reservoir up through a tube into a perforated tube that surrounds the plants. The pump runs one hour on with a two hour rest cycle. The nutrients drain through the clay pellets and drain back into the reservoir to be recycled. These are simple reliable systems, and can easily be built using a five gallon bucket. I used these last season, and they did a fantastic job growing peppers!
