Just be aware that at that volume you have to be diligent with the fertigation.

PS Drill holes on the bottom aspect of the container and around the vertical part, for about 2 inches, it'll help with preventing anaerobic parties and won't compromise the integrity.
That is great, as my husband can bring me 4 gallon food grade containers. He is the gardener at a local inn. The inn has a restaurant, and I think they just dispose of the containers. The containers are white.

Thank you for the reply
