I have built this project and I can't find the sketch download with libraries zipped as described. I realize this project is older, but I'm entering a contest and have designed and built my system around this project, so I really need to find those libraries. I have found lots of dead links in the search, but I would really appreciate help. I have the code from Blog 11.1 but I can't get the Read Me file because I don't have the Download Zip, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need the libraries. I do have the hardware built and I'm just waiting on the software so I can load it and try it out.

Thank you for this incredible design and software, and thank you for your time in reading this and hopefully your assistance.

Hi Mike,

I am loving your work so far. Thank you for your efforts.

Now. I thought I would give this a go, but using Comfrey Tea instead of urine, so I went about making a few gallons, and now have a small indoor grow setup to give it a whirl. It has been running for a few days now without any plants so it can build up some helpful bacteria and stuff.

No problems so far, but I was wondering if you have done any more testing yet, and if you had any advice that might prevent me making any big mistakes.

I like the idea of watching what the plant uses as a way to figure out what to feed a plant and when.

You might need a larger scale garden to get sufficient usage information to establish a nominal baseline of nutrient over time usage by the plants.

Some of this data might be available at some of the agriculture universities, so a good web search might yield some good starting points.
