[QUOTE=jamromhem;7822] I actually have a small list of vegetables I will eat lol.

I only like a few also, but I am going to try them all. I mostly like my veggies stir fried with some chicken. We use the chow mein packet from the grocery store and add all sorts of veggies like my zuchinni.

I hope you don't run into the same problems like you did with the roots on the other.

I don't think I will because they have so much more room and there is already an overflow built into each barrel. I only have 4 plants in each 1/2 barrel and the roots really have no restrictions because the drain is covered from the roots with drain field pipe and it runs the whole length of the barrel. In the other system there are 7 or 8 tomato plants and 3 sugar pea plants in a 10 foot section of 4" pipe.
