I think there is five half barrels in the picture

If you were going to use blue drums I think you would fit more in if you butt the ends against the back wall with space to walk between each one rather than running the drums lengthways along the back wall

Thanks Ben that's something to think about cheers

Time for your first sketchup model

I like the idea of barrels like ben said, if your tall enough you wouldn't even need space between them.

Here are some ideas

Thanks Jay yes I'm tall enough lots of options it will give me plenty to think about

Hi all just picked a broccoli it wasn't as dense as it should be but tasted great the cauliflower is still growing still getting loads of snow peas

snow peas hitting the roof and just when i think the tomatoes are nearly had it they shoot up from the same plant from the bottom were media is and start all over again

Looking good, my experience with snowpeas was they really loved the AP even though it had low PH (I think they like it sweet). I had yakumo snow peas and they grew so large that it took over. Watch for powdery mildew. Apparently peas and beans send out a hormone when they have mature seed to stop producing more growth, so pick and eat when young

will do JAY the bottom leaves have gone a grey colour for some time now but still producing lots of
peas

hi all shifted t barrel into greenhouse wasn't getting much sun all my herbs were dying

Looking great Rod. Love the hothouse.
How are your fish going? I have quite a big size difference in some of mine.
I am finding it hard trying to feed enough for them and keep water quality perfect.

Thanks Rob my fish are doing well getting big they seem to be roughly all the same size i am still feeding them a hand full morning and and evening and my water quality is good also im watching my ph closely to make sure it doesnt hit the 6.0 mark
