Wow - nice rig!
Will a grow bag go inside the Menard's buckets with the large holes? What size holes? What did you use to cut them? I miss Menards and Fleet Farm! As hard as it must be to wait, it's already stinking hot in the south and I've lost about 5% of my plants to disease. Never lost one in Wisconsin that I can remember. |

don't know about the grow bags, some use walmart bags, i sewed mine own up from landscape fabric, . the holes are 3 inch , used a 3 inch hole saw, and if you want to save wear and tear on your wrist, run the drill in reverse. trust me it works. ---tom

The skinny pencil armed 130 pound weak guy with me said let me do it. This was some really thick aluminum. My drill almost broke his wrist and flipped him off the truck. Our nick name for him was squiggly I came up with it and even the owner of the company called him that. |

I don't either. I was referring to a period of time. Is that confusing?

Nice set up encore. I'm attempting to grow a cherry tomato in a 5 gallon bucket at my office/shop. Almost killed it last week due to lack of water
Ahh..... the tables have turned! Guess were even now. (You gave me a hard time on Worth's random pictures thread for not recognizing that there was a horse in the trailer) |
