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

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

yah a horse that's as big as a 5 gallon bucket! a 10 year old chocolate lab that has had a knee replacement and the other one is torn, sorry she looks so big, don't let her run too much so she needs another surgery at $2,500 , if I do she limps around for days. I think she still might like you tho.---tom

Our chocolate had ACL surgery on both knees--one at 8 years old and the other at 9. She was running, swimming, jumping, and basically acting like a Lab until Cushing's disease slowed her down at the age of 15. The surgeries were money well spent. |

I thought that it was a horse too which is kind of funny.
Plants look nice though. Last edited by brownrexx; June 4, 2017 at 10:03 AM. |
