    Lady, my south wall is only 12 feet long, and the space is occupied by immobile objects. I tried it first. East is as good as it gets for me.

    Thanks for the heads up on the squash. I did some thinking, and my corn container is way larger than I need for just that. I'll transplant the milk jug plants into it. I'm guessing I'll see better results that way.

    I grew my strawberries in pvc pipes. 1 big one with cut out holes, insert one smaller size in the middle drill holes in it for water to drain. Fill big one with dirt, small one with pea rock. Plant strawberries in holes of big one and water thru the little one. I did this for years.

    Also did cucumbers, tomatoes,beans and other veggies.

    I am me,
    I am free,
    You can not change me.

    If you try, you will see,
    That I am unchangeable,
    Because I am me.

    cool, tx.

    So that is about an 8" outer pipe, with about 3" holes in it, about a 4" inner pipe with 1/2" holes in it

    ??

    And is that a fully closed cap on the bottom?

    yep now that is not a pic of mine but that is how I did it. I just used a big pipe and a 2 sizes small pipe. It is cheap and works great. I didn't have to buy my pvc as I had already had some laying around. Now that I am home I am going to make several of these again and put it in the garden. Since I am to late with the planting of seeds, I have to buy the plants to catch up with the season
