great stuff stretch...

i have a similar system using ibc's.. one thing i have to offer is to be aware of the sunlight through the ibc wall... i had uncovered sides then got a huge algae bloom outbreak . once i had painted the walls, the algae disappeared..

great going.... look forward to seeing how it progresses...

I like that you flipped the sawn cage halves so the nice edge is facing up and sharp edges are down. Looking good!

Welcome aboard!

Hi, they are spring onions and leeks also have lettuce, celery, broad beans, cauliflower, broccolli and some herbs growing. have wrapped ft and sump in shade cloth to stop algae growth (the new IBC i have is coloured solid white so hope to use as ft without covering). The grow beds are autosiphon and the pump(3000lt) runs 24/7. Got three blue barrels today which i plan to add with two IBC's to expand system. One as ft the other cut down to make two new growbeds.
