  • after watching a few videos I decided to build my own earth box planter
    you will need a container
    some corrugated pipe
    some pvc pipe
    potting MIX (not soil)
    Happy New Year, I wish you all the best for a bountiful 2023.
    I still have a corrupt section in this video but at least the whole thing is uploaded now, enjoy.
    Thanks for watching The ProCut

    Fantastic man. Made many different sip love them, I put air stones in my water, but I grow herb. Lol . I have at this time 36 home made, love them,. You can hook up a red tank to fill earth box or sip systems. Fantastic

    I’ve watched several diy videos. You are the first I’ve seen use a dremel rotary blade! Makes a neater, more exact fit than a box cutter 🙄 or a saw. Thanks for that!

    Audio is good. I can hear 🙉 you loud and clear. Don't like videos that you can't hear the people talking. The video stopped but I can still hear you explaining. Don't worry I'm still here to the end. Full view as always from me including commercials. Your back and video is running properly.

    I like your build, looks better than others I've seen but I'm surprised that you did not add a piece of geotextile to prevent soil from going into your water reservoir though the weeping holes.

    • @TheProCut17
      @TheProCut17  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching and commenting. I've seen it both ways, but I did not have any cloth laying around. I will likely pull this box apart this fall and can report whether any soil got through or not.

      with the 4" pipe in the bottom you want the drain hole between 3" and 3.5" so there is approximately a 1" air gap
