I've been concerned that the nutrient solution in the water tank has been getting a bit stale during the warm weather and that sediment has been building up, with the more viscous liquid settling at the bottom. There's no electricity at the allotment so the solution (thanks Ron!) is a solar-powered pond aerator! The solar panel powers a small pump which feeds air through a pipe which opens out at the bottom of the tank. It works a treat straight out of the box - now we have oxygenated water, and the constant flow of bubbles will impede water stratification.
