Hi, it's the old fart again, but my dogs love me  I currently use three concrete wash troughs for growing veggies in dirt. Question is are they safe to use for AP. They are pretty old (like me). If they are ok that would be fantastic. I must say this is a great site, "this is a great site". Thanks for the help so far it is greatly appreciated. (Think I'm getting an IBC for fathers day) woohooo

Can see why not, I have one I will be using for water plants once the green house is finished. Cheers |

The concrete tubs can affect your PH over time. maybe you could give them a cote of pond paint or something like that to seal them up. if it becomes an issue. I've got some down here Bear if you want some
