This is way too expensive, I'm going with a shit load of 8x8x16 inch cinder blocks. They're 1$ a piece
It would cost me 100$ to make stands out of pvc.
Oh I see you want to make a stand. I was thinking more like this just to get air flow and drainage.

Aye Tommy that actually might work if I put one in the middle too saves me having to get all fancy with corners and such

Thanks man! I think I'll go with this idea

Smokey wrote:Well my thinking is just one more same size tub you have but just raised inside slightly using the oven tray risers/coolin trays giving you enough room to just remove run off, this of course would only mean raising the bed by a couple of inches most and cost effective

So these at the bottom of the first tray with the bed tub placed on top ???


Hey smokey, unfortunately I think the bed would crush these. I like the thinking though

Hey hmr! Unfortunately these containers weigh hundreds of pounds when watered and filled with soil

Would Lego bricks work?
Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.
