most of the videos that i have seen say that you don't want a white barrel, due to fungus growth. Also, why didn't you just use a piece of clear hose running up the side of a barrel to see the level. maybe even put a ping pong ball in the clear hose to see the level
I thought about doing this. When I was first getting barrels, I only could get a white one. That is why the rest of the barrels are blue (I now have 12 barrels total in my system).
Thanks for some of your great ideas. I built myself a similar system for my garden, however not as large as yours but it should do ok for what i need. You can view it on my channel and let me know what you think. I am just starting out my garden and having a great time!!
The bolts that connect the 2x6's to the 4x4 posts need to be driven home to ensure a proper connection. I know they are too long but you cannot rely on the threads to make your connection. The head of the bolt and a washer is the proper way to ensure long term rigidity and structural integrity.
