good idea... was thinking of a similar setup, thought i may put a couple inches of shingle/small stones at the bottom to hold the water in. then i can keep the lids for colder months when im trying to grow seeds.

Yeh mate thats the one, Just want to make sure the soil isn't sitting in the water at the bottom as it starts to rot. It will be easier for the roots to grow through too. Not much point in putting the hoses in the front. Found it best to just have small sprinkler on top which worked well for the seedlings. Good luck

Thanks man, Yeh its working good, I've got the sprinkler set up on top which works well. Since i planted the seeds i haven't touched the whole setup. Will post a video when they are a little bigger. p.s (dodgy video) yeh I think i should stick to the gardening : )

I have done my research across the web and have found a system that can be used in any climate. It is low cost, low watering but highly productive. The Garden Master created The Bucket Garden, you can grow in as little as a 4x6 space. Do your research before going out and spending time and money on pots and soil, this system will change the way you eat.

Hi I like your system. Here's another container gardening tip: try mulching to cut down on how often you have to water. I used baked clay balls and had amazing results, watered about a quarter as often.

Good old Aussie ingenuity loved the set up. Would have taken me a few tinnies and thinking time to set that one up cheers, now I can just set it up and enjoy the tinnies.
