Use stimulus check 3 to build a few of these beds!
Lumber was purchased from Lowes Home Improvement.
Very cool! Thanks for the video
Great idea! Thanks
Sir i want half barrel self watering
I loved the video. I have some suggestions for future barrels.
1. Flood and drain pipe to keep the holes from getting plugged up by debris and roots.
2. I don’t know how but something to support the bottom. I just don’t trust the screws as only support.
If I make a video I will give you credit for getting me started and implement my ideas. I tend to over engineer but that’s because I’m lazy AF and hate cleaning up when things do work exactly how I imagine it should work.
Awesome!!! Your gonna have to come up to my homestead this spring and help me out! Lol
Great work…thanks for share…
Super ❤️❤️
Very cool and very practical, I wish we did this when we lived in the city. Great video
Nice
Fantastic work sir. I will be using the same method.
My husband used 2×2 and it is very sturdy and it cut our cost on materials tremendously. 2×2 was just as heavy as the 2×4 and it worked out great
Thank you so much. I will use this as inspiration to action. I loved the quote in the beginning. I will do this with my son
Great to see your lad getting stuck in. Cool dude.
