As I recall, the user reported that he had been using it for two years. Seems a stretch to me. I think that a permeable non-organic material would be better, but off the top of my head, I can't think of a readily available cheap material that would fit that bill.

But the corrugated cardboard thing definitely has its charm... as a proof of concept, it would be a dirt cheap project.

I suspect that dirt cheap projects would be ok.

I think the guy was using the cross flow configuration. I think your configuration is much better.


BTW, you doing anything today? I could drop by and show you the Fine-Wire HX that fell into my evil possession.
