I have a few of those big blue 5G water jugs and they are the perfect diameter for the cabinet I want to build. My questions are: are they a good medium for growing?? Are they pourous enough? Does this even matter? How many holes should I drill into the bottom for drainage? Thanks for the help!
Sounds good to me... Id go with four holes, remember to keep them off the ground, growth will be much quicker... Good luck.
the more holes the better i use the home depot 5 gal buckets and they work great, i stack one inside another and it collects the runoff water
Yep, you can use them. Just be carefull with the holes and / or watering schedule and also not to overfill them.
