Maybe you should redo the video so the audio lines up to what you are doing in the video
The best self watering tutorial by far! I subscribed and liked.
Very good video. Thank you…thank you!
I will watch it again and again 🙂
What do you use for your soil mix?
I really enjoyed your video.
May I please advise a couple things for the future?
~ Watching your single (test fit) unit build it occurred to me that the size of container & thickness of the plastic may affect how many screws it takes to stabilize the false bottom.
~ Secondly, the duplicate build(s). It would probably be simplest to use the successful test fit lid as a prototype so all holes are in the same place. I'm thinking specifically about saving time having to mark out the fill tube hole.
Happy gardening and God Bless. <><
