On the tail end of the video at this thread you can see some other designs. They have a spring block behind and water flows around them. All harvested cacti (not 100%) go to same spot. I am going to try to make one where the water flows over the first level of cactus.

-this may work with reeds?
Do not wallow do not stall
Time waits for none at all
Your allowance may crawl,
It may fly or even vanish
But none will seem more lavished
Than time lost to all.

I figured this out by accident when I created a pig spawning/killing room. I stood in the collection area and browsed the internet a bit, and when I came back I had an inventory full of pork and a few cacti.
My collection method is extremely simple, and works well. It's just a hollow box with a hole in the bottom and a water spring at each corner. Like this:
I made an XL version with a meager 2 water springs and 16 cacti.
...Well, I sure can't beat your efficiency or cleanliness of design, but I can beat you in the area of ridiculous excess:
That's the array of 22 (magically water-repelling) collection platforms for my field of 82 cacti, which is packed so densely I can't screenshot it. It spits out around 50-60 cactus bits every 10 minutes, and has giant holes in the walls to catch the occasional surprise. All the water pipes are glass-bottomed, so you can hang around in the collection room watching cactus bits drift down to their designated platforms.
This thing could completely fill a small chest with cactus chunks in a few hours. Not that I have any idea what purpose that would serve.
This is my first attempt. I need a better water flow system to catch them all.

Correct. It seems when you have a block adjacent to the cactus second level, the cactus will pop off when it grows to 3.

EDIT:
I updated it so cacti blocks on the outside no longer rub against other stems (and get destroyed).

It works!

That only uses 2 springs? Woah, efficient :biggrin.gif:
