D B tomatoes day 3

Dutch Bucket day 3

LET"S DO THIS !

It's raining today so I figured I'd plumb the buckets for my system. I got all my bits n bobs ready and went at it.

It pays handsomely to have the right tool for the job. The PVC cutter paid for itself today.

 I cut the pipes at 6"

Put the 90 º elbows on

Drilled the 1" holes

Popped in the 3/4" grommets 

Carefully pushed in the drain pipes

And this is the final result.

I water tested them in the bathtub to make sure the grommet sealed properly. They did. Now I need to drill holes in the lids, but I'm going to wait till its dry outside to do all that. Measuring is all good, but I'm an eyeball DIY guy and I need to see the set up in position before I do any more hole cutting.
