Hey havent posted in a bit here are my new sip conatianers I'm giving a try.
Ran into a few issues I didn't like with my old sips. I find this way to be much easier to deal with IMO.
Found this idea on the web. What I did was cut my 4inch perferated drain pipe long ways so it fit in my container. Then I capped every end so it looked like this
Next I drilled a hole in the top of one end of the drain pipe for my watering pipe to run into. At the other end I drilled a hole 1 inch from the top of the drain pipe and one through my container for an overflow.
(Don't mind my dogs paw in this shot)
And that's pretty much all the prep work! Then I just filled the containers with some super soil, my plants and covered with about 2 inches thick of mulch. Looks something like this
Plants seem to love it so far!
