Rainwater Leaching Experiment 1
Pro’s
‣
Construction idea 1:
- A pipe in which I can store the acorns, in an accessible way, rainwater flows through the pipe, the flow is controlled by a tap at the end of the pipe, this way the pipe is always filled with water, submerging the acorns
- What materials can I use for this? I prefer not to use plastic. Can thick bamboo sticks be used for this?
Construction idea 2:
- A rain barrel collects water from the roof. Inside a basket can be placed with acorns. The basket is in the upper half of the rain barrel. Below a valve can be opened to control the speed of the water, depending on the amount of rain the valve can be opened more or less.
- Is it possible to make the basket float, in a way that the acorns are always below the water line?
