Need ideas for this(!!!)

Hi All!

So this outer trough has about 2 inches of standing water. This area gets indirect sun all day.

The water that is in the main trough (that feeds the wall) leaks over into this outer trough. This outer trough is normally filled with gravel but we emptied it because of the leak.

It is my hope to convert this outer trough into some kind of hydroponic project - hopefully with edible vegetable greens like lettuce and/or kale. We can obviously do anything we want as far as the water level goes, as this outer trough does not leak and could be filled with water. We can also buy any necessary equipment like air stones or pumps, etc.

The location is high elevation Costa Rica so we have constant warmth here year round.

Any and all ideas are greatly appreciated!!!!!!

I wonder if you could have moving water somehow. The sound of water is so soothing.
