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.

I was drilling some 3 inch holes maybe bigger in the back of a fire truck for hose connections.
The skinny pencil armed 130 pound weak guy with me said let me do it.
This was some really thick aluminum.
My drill almost broke his wrist and flipped him off the truck.
Our nick name for him was squiggly I came up with it and even the owner of the company called him that.

It's Dennis,isn't it?

Please remember that N0 partisan political names are allowed at Tville.

So here's a gentle warning to please not do it again. And I'm sure you also remember that no discussions of religion are allowed here either.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation .

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

That's a dog?? It looks like the back end of a horse. False foreshortening, I guess.

Anyway, nice setup.

Nice set up encore. I'm attempting to grow a cherry tomato in a 5 gallon bucket at my office/shop. Almost killed it last week due to lack of water

Ahh..... the tables have turned! Guess were even now. (You gave me a hard time on Worth's random pictures thread for not recognizing that there was a horse in the trailer)
