    Hex, thats a work of art.

    Personally I like to use really big plastic containers of the sort that take an entire grow bag (around 20-25 litres but not sure of exact size), These sit in very large drip trays, for cucumber or tomatoes this work well.

    Depends on how many plants you want to grow, Snapper. But you would need a bed a metre wide and as long as you can afford. Allowing a square metre per plant.:thmb:

    Cheers guys for the nice comments.
    The bed provides plenty of space for root growth, its impossible to waterlog and oxygen is available from every direction.
    It works very well standing on concrete as the water runoff drains directly into a container rather than all over the place.
