I have a small commercially made version of this type of container and I find it very hard to water. I've not tried it but I think a perferated pipe down the centre of the compost might solve the problem.

@dalecalder2003 Hey that could be quite true. I forget that most people don't have the rain we have. That definitely would help with that. Thanks man :)

@icansmellthecoffee Hey that sounds like a good plan. I used to grow them in buckets, but inside a polly tunnel. So it would definitely work if you have the weather for them out side. Or maybe you could put the hole thing inside a glasshouse. Hows the weather were you are?
