A Partial List

Thanks Bob! This helps a lot 😊
I will be looking up what species spaghetti squash is from to see if I can grow them next to zucchini and still preserve the heritage.
I really enjoyed reading this whole thread and all the responses

Interesting! So I have zucchini and spaghetti squash, heirloom seed, and I want to preserve the heirloom heritage because of it's taste! A heirloom tomato, for example, tastes sooo much better than a cross breed you can find just about anywhere.
So where would one go to see if something will cross pollinate? This will be my first attempt, and I too read that you need humongous space so things don't cross pollinate. I thought that might be just to discourage the home gardner from saving seed so they would have to buy lol

Do we get to download the videos with this?
For some reason, I can download the pdf for the course, but when I go to where the videos are, I don't have the option to scroll down. It wants me to purchase..

First of all I have no intention in replacing my garden beds with this system. I think worms and soil life are very important.  I still plan to give it a try. I've had trouble with bell peppers getting blossom end rot. My soil isn't lacking in calcium, and have no problem with any other pepper that I've tried. I believe it's inconsistent watering. So maybe with this system bell peppers will grow for me.  What intrigues me about this method is the plants basically water themselves.
I'm going to try 2 methods. In one I'm going to fill the bottom of the pool with rock. Set plastic nursery pots on the rocks.  Fill the water to the top of the rocks. I may put some cotton cloth in the pot out of the drain hole and into the water because I don't know if the pots can wick up enough water just sitting on the rocks. I thought this way mosquitoes won't lay eggs in the water, and bees and other insects can use it to drink.
Method 2 use actual grow bags that sit in the pool with a couple of inches of water in the pool. I will put duckweed on the water to keep mosquitoes from using it as a breeding ground, with the bonus of having duckweed for the chickens and in the garden.
I figure besides Bell pepper, maybe watermelon, tomato, cantaloupe,

Have you tried this?  I'd like to hear suggestions, changes, any advice or info you have.
Thanks

So there is a proven method already out there with the pool and grow bag system, and another system. They are both self-watering, and I have been meaning to give it a go because I too have warering inconsistency problems.
The systems qere invented by Larry Hall, who is deceased, but from what I can tell, his wife (Terri) still runs the site and youtube videos, etc. All the information is there in great detail.
Just look up Larry Hall grow bag system and Larry Hall rain gutter grow system.
Loads of information and how to's.
The rain gutter grow system is by far the prettiest and neatest system out of the two, but the grow bag in the pool system is the easiest to set up.
Go have a good read 😉

I would like a link please
