Do you think this tote would be sturdy enough to be used as an indoor grow bed without adding any additional support? http://www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-27-gal-T ... /202328879 I love the price and the dimensions are almost perfect for where I want to put it. |

It may be ok - but will require some additional suport otherwise it will bow out |

Yeah ArBe, I was actually just reading through all the reviews and found this... "I bought this tote to use in a hydroponics grow, and it's sole use was to hold water for the nutrient solution. The first time I filled it (1/3 full) it sprung a leak, at the base, from the injection points for the mold. I solved the leak by using some silicone caulk, but feel that it should have been right from the start." I think I will pass, my search continues. |

most of those cheap plastic boxes are to weak IMO. better of with a heavy duty fish crate or such. |

I may try this if my local store has one in stock, it's a little smaller than I wanted but should be able to grow a few things in it. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/t ... ank-15-gal They have a 40-gal version as well but it's a little too big for the stand that I already have built. |
