Dave, The original design may have called for perforated drain pipe-I don't remember. I just used the regular type and drilled a few holes but only in the wicking ones not the support pieces.
Every year I say I am going to do some sort of drip irrigation -as I have about 30 15-gal. containers in addition to the 8 earthboxes. (plus other bigger containers) AND raised beds. Now is the time we should be doing something as we plant in fall but don't have much motivation as once I get done ripping out all of these tomato plants we are sick of gardening for a while.
Wishing everyone a bountiful harvest. farkee (MsCowpea)
