Wicking Barrel construction...

Made up the Passion Fruit Wicking Barrel today & a bit of a video...

More info can be found on this blog HERE, which includes an alternate way of installing the outlet pipe, & HERE which is an entry on how we made our second bed...

A few sites that got me started on the Wicking systems are Easy grow Vegetables.com & Scarecrow's Garden Blog... Both were great sources of information & even got the idea for the Shade structure from the Easy Grow site...
Hope that helps any interested persons...
 Have a great one all.....

  2. I'm glad I could help Frogdancer...
    If you are looking for some tools, I have found 2nd hand dealers great places to pick up drills & the like at a good price... Our Cash Converters also sell drill bits & hand tools as well...
    Have a great one...
