ground.

Yep, I said sewer pipe.
6-inch sewer pipe to be
precise.
We purchased it in 10-
foot lengths, and cut
them in half to make
5-foot towers, but you
could go with any length
you want.
Youll also need a 1.5 inch hole saw (the kind you
can use with an electric drill), and you might need
an end cap for each pipe (to be explained later).
The Measurements:
Here are the measurements we used for our

Stability:
Ive only used the towers inside a greenhouse, so
wind was of little concern. But even so, the towers
tend to be a bit unstable and should be supported
in some way. The taller the tower, the more
important this is.
Irrigation:
The simplest arrangement for irrigation is to use a
single sprayer or dripper positioned at the top of
the tower, and let the water percolate down.
That's what we did.
