In this video I will show you how to make a stock tank wicking bed. They work great and the gophers cannot get in. From experience I would not plant more than two tomato plants per tank. They grow like crazy, and will over take each other.
Material list, total cost per tank about $250:
1. Stock Tank We use 2x2x6 and we like the large ones. They come in three sizes and are all the same price so look at them and chose the size that you like. It’s hard to find the largest ones as they sell first.
2. ¾” PVC street El with Teflon plumbing tape
3. about 8” ¾ PVC
4. 4” perforated drain pipe flexible. We use 35’ for a large tank
5. Land scape fabric
6. a few cable ties
7. Small lava rock (or sand) about 3 to 4 cubic feet. I prefer lava rock as it weighs less.
8. Potting soil. I calculate that a large tank holds about 17 cubic feet. You can get this in bulk from your local landscape supply house.
