Where to purchase large containers.

[SIP Gro-Tubs]

Hello Ted, I'm new to this forum. The tubs you are using make great for growing your vegetables, and at $2 ea is a very good price. Here in S. TX they want $5 or more for the same size.

I, make SIP containers from them, using a 5 gl bucket, to fill the reservoirs, that has a float valve.

That will have more advantages from using drip irrigation, since the tubs have a constant supply of water in the bottom, during the drought conditions we are expecting in a few short months.
