I didn't know where to post this, so here it is !
I was given three 50 gal. metal drums last spring, I've used them in the GH over winter as a heat sink, worked OK.
I have set them up on the south side of the house, the garden is in front of them.
I raised them 2 feet so I will have a little more pressure, hope the stand hold up
I bought a 1 inch metal hole saw bit to cut the holes, inserted 3/4" fittings, threaded male and female, with a rubber washer inside. I put about a foot of water in them and found a leak at the spicket, must tighten that up.
