Ok, so I downloaded and went through all the video's. I'm going to go buy this stuff at some point and make it and see how some of the tomato plants fare this summer using this method.
For those who want to try it, I made a list of everything you need. You'll just need to watch the video's after on how to put it together.
For one of these set ups, you need the following:
* 2 - 31 Gallons (117 L) Rubbermaid (or similar) storage containers
* 1 Pond Basket which will be used as a wicking basket no greater then 6" high
* 4 - #8 x 1/2" soft tapping screws
* 2 of the heaviest gauge tomato cages you can find. He used 54" high x 18" diameter cages that had rails that were 3/16" thick
* 1 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC water safe pipe cut to 19"
* 2" Diameter Drill (I didn't get the other drill bits you need because I had them already...but they're just basic drill bits)
* 15 - 1/8" Wire/rope clips
* 8 - Fender washers 1 1/2" diameter
* 2 - 3/16" x 2" Toggle bolts
* Potting Mix (NOT Potting soil)
* Agricultural or Dolamite Lime (big bag...he didn't say how much...enough to fill the storage container)
* Organic Tomato Fertalizer
* And of course tomato plants
Once I'm done buying and building mine, I'll post some pics.
