| I am in the process of waiting for my dome to come. I currently grow many of my crops in self-watering containers. Will this concept work well in the growing dome? |

Hi
Container gardening can certainly be done in the dome
And I have tried container gardening myself
However, most people plant in raised beds
They provide a much larger thermal mass of soil, resulting in less temperature swings that stress the plants less
Also they take longer to dry out between waterings
Also the undersoil heating system would not be as effective with container gardening, see

Hope this is helpful
Who is building your dome?
