Just thought I would point that out. About $2 cheaper per fixture here. <br><br>Meijer has 30ga. Sterlite containers on sale this week for $8.99. That's the best I have seen in awhile. The 18ga Rubbermaid ones at Walmart were $8.50.BenCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872247640329823856.post-55725920605222128862009-01-19T12:33:50.000-08:002009-01-19T12:33:50.000-08:00SWC: Self Watering Container (actually the "t...SWC: Self Watering Container (actually the "technical" name for this would be sub-irrigated planter).<br><br>I'm about to try making a couple with the roughneck totes as they are on sale at the moment, but this will be my first so I'm no expert.<br><br>Ray Newstead exclusively uses the roughnecks for his "EarthTainers".

In a couple years you should have loads of blueberries to pick.

Still, I know you'd rather be in pain than watch your kids in pain. As a mom of two old little guys (5 & 7), I'm sure you and I have more ER time coming. <br>Last year when we put the oldest's tent up in the front room, he came rolling out with the tent cover and said, "Will you throw me off the roof so I can see if this will work as a parachute?" Oh yeah, I got hours in ER coming to me.Carolynpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872247640329823856.post-74558407974092138532009-01-19T02:54:53.000-08:002009-01-19T02:54:53.000-08:00Had to laugh at Carolynp's comment!
