I am converting several 27 gal totes which were used for Hydroponic Garden (indoors) to soil gardens. They will have climate controlled, automatic watering and artificial light for growing. Is there a section in this forum that would answer any of my needs pertaining to this venue?

Trying the Greenhouse Forum is ok but "Suggest a Change" to move your question is better than starting a new thread.

After this many views and no responses, I suspect no one has a clue. Smiling

Can you add some photos of your set-up and explain what you will be growing?

This is a sample of the totes that I will be using. I am going to use the lid as drip pan and drill holes in bottom for drainage. I plan to fill tote to about 3 inches from top and plant a variety of veggies, herbs, and fruit. I have 7 of these totes and can plant some 4-6 plants in each. Watering will be done by drip system which is automatically controlled. Here are some more pictures.

Well right at present, I have none as I haven't converted all the planters yet. At least now I know were to come if I do need assistance. Thank you.
