Im cheap...I tried to get a large quantity discount from the dollar store for these little black containers. They wouldn't budge on the price so I had to pay $1.00 for each one. A five gallon grow bag fits real nice in them. Put water in the container and the grow mix sucks up the water...just like in the earth box or any other so called self watering design. You can hand water or set up an automatic watering system. After I gain a little more experience with all the intracacies of this brilliant design, I will know where to drill a drain hole in the side of the container to insure the correct water level.
