Have you done it a different/better way, and just don't want to tell me...? (kidding) Your answer is good enough for me. Makes sense, too.

Takes me out of my comfort zone when weird stuff like this happens. My only other option was a 30 gallon half of a whiskey barrel. Weighs a ton, and would take up most of my growspace and the rest of my potting mix.

Thanks for the heads-up Lola. I appreciate it.
