Nice. Couple questions. Where do you get those large plastic tubs and do you have issues with grass growing between the pallet boards?

I moved this out of the contest thread. The black tubs are feed troughs from tractor supply. I've been using some of the for 8 years and aside from a little fading, they are still solid. The bigger is a Rubbermaid 40 gallon water trough. It is about 4 years old and solid. I went with water troughs because they are designed to endure extreme UV exposure. [

As far as the pallets go, I don't have a problem with grass growing under them as the plants tend to shade it all out. It does grow up around the edges and I trim it back.

What's the purpose of having them on pallets?

Less often than the trays but still every 3 days or so. The trays get watered daily.
