Default Want to make my minitainer?


DO YOU WANT TO TRY A MINITAINER?
are you tired of doing the mid season tango or replaceing
your plastic containers every 2 3 4 years ?, then you can
build your own minitainer that could be the last one you
will have to build just follow the step by step photos
that follow,first off is the matieral list.
one peice of 1x8 lumber seven ft. long $ 5.98 (hd)
one 28 quart sterilite container $ 5.69 (hd)
one 1/4 inch barbed float valve $ 7.98 (?)
one 6x6x6 grodan block $ 5.98
one 4x4x4 grodan block $ 2.98
the grodan blocks are used for wicking and can be
bough at any hydroponic store.
easy step by step instructions as followed
P.S. The top is not included in the material list,
because it can be any size to accomodate two or more pots
make sure the container has areatation holes drilled in the sides or drainage holes in nursery pots.
