This time i opted for 3/4 plywood and i drilled 12 1 inch holes in it for drainage. Now that its all filled with good soil i got the idea of adding some 3/4" pvc pipes with holes in them to lay on the bottom and stick out the back side. something like a farmer would do to a field laying drainage tile. Im thinking i can just cap one end and drill my holes and push the pipes in with out haveing to disturb the plants again. Looking for your opinons on this idea. |
