I use the 7-gallon gray (lasts 3-4 yrs) root pouches. they are available at greenhousemegastore. They are extremely durable and I would not be surprised if they last beyond 4 years. I put a bucket lid inside, on the bottom (for structure) and then I cut a hole through both, and insert a net cup through both.

Once you know where/how your water supply will be then you'll know what 'connection type' to buy for the Kerick adjustable arm valve. FYI, I don't screw the gutter to the frame. don't like the idea of making that many punctures through my water trough - I shim or you can use a pipe/plumbing strap.

If you go with walmart bag, they are NOT vinyl. They are a poly (made from recycled water bottles) material and only 50 cent ones. They hold 7 gallons. The UPC Number Is 6791452627 and usually near the checkout. I put them in $1 mini baskets (for structure - I think you can see them the last pic in the rggs-raised bed thread.)
