Have Comfrey as well, would love rhubarb *ah nostalgia*, I started some corn, squash and beans but they all croaked when I started the greenhouse project, I focused too much on the building and lost a lot. I'm okay with it since this is my first season. I have 20 or so tomato plants and 12 cucumbers that are still holding on, lol. really just need help, hate doing this alone. I've got a few weeks worth to finish the greenhouse but my usual helper that I pay hasn't been available. So, here I am losing money as the lumber curls from rain/heat, moving 16 foot 6x6's or 20 foot boards by myself is not safe, already threw my back out. lol. It'll all be worth it eventually I keep telling myself. I still enjoy it more than climbing the corporate ladder.
As to your catchment... are you saying you siphon from one container to the other? Are you wanting to have them fill equally?

A little history... I was a mechanic for 20 years, Army for 8 years, and the tech industry for 10 years, obviously with some overlaps. I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science plus 2 lesser degrees. I just recently became an Oklahoma State Master Gardener. Never Married. 1 Child that is 17, stays with their mother most of the time. I'm not a fan of drama so please don't bring any.
Currently working on ¼ acre in zone 7A (Oklahoma) where I am building a new greenhouse to replace a temporary hoop house I tested in. I like woodworking, cooking, building things, agardening, dancing, and spending time with family and friends. Have rain catchment (1100 gallons of storage), in the process of installing a solar array, continually refining which crops to grow to reach sustainability.
With the right teammate I am willing to relocate/sell after dating for a few years. I'd like to move to a bigger plot in a numerically lower grow zone by 2030.
I have an extra room if romantic compatibility is lacking.
Bonus points if you know where my name comes from. (not actual name due to scammers/bots/etc.)

I have several gardens, a lake, an island on about 4 acres in the pinelands in Southern New Jersey. I am growing several food forests within my pitch pine forest that the Lenai Lenape tribe used to harvest. Self sufficiency is my goal and I am well on my way. I am an electrician by trade. I am out on the land and rarely in the house. The house is a beautiful home made of wood. I’d like to meet a beautiful soul in a female body to share in this experience:)
