Aquarium tubing does not work! The resistance due to the small diameter is too great for liquid. Been there, done that. You need at least 1/2 inch tubing (available at Home Depot, Lowes etc.) or cut sections of garden hose. Here is what I did, and works very well for watering fast draining SH pots indoors. You need: Big plastic sweater box large diameter tubing (1/2" or garden hose) Spade bits for drill [I guess you could melt the hole with a soldering iron too] drill Plummers Goop adhesive (or any other Goop should work) 1" PVC tubing egg crate light diffuser pannel Drill a hole through the long side wall of the box at floor level [near to one of the short side walls so that you can glue the tubing to both the floor of the box and to the bottom of the wall of the box] and insert about 6-8" of tubing into the box. Glue in place [apply several coats over a couple of days, use a lot of Goop, cover the whole tube - swabbing the plastic with alcohol, or simply washing with soapy water will help the Goop stick better]. You will need enough tubing to reach the floor, where you will place a bucket on watering day. It has to be done this way because if you try to stick the tubing through the bottom it won't glue and drain right. By placing the tubing against one wall, so it looks like it is coming out of the corner of the box, you can tilt the whole box a little for better drainage. To get the plants up off of the bottom of the tray you could use a bunch of inverted pots under the egg crate, but the PVC is better. Cut the egg crate to fit the bottom of the box [I use the back of a saw or large kitchen knife and just wack the row of squares that needs to be cut. The plastic will give way like a zipper] Cut the PVC a little shorter than the egg crate (a cross cut saw is faster than a hack saw. The plastic is pretty soft. Attach two lengths of PVC under the egg crate with Zip ties so the you have a "floor" above the bottom of the tray, which will not resist the flow of the draining water. With this bottom the process of picking up the egg crate flooring to clean the box is so much easier than anything else you can come up with. When not watering just loop the tube up into the back of the box. This all sounds complicated but the materials are soft and easy to work with and the design is hard to screw up. The spade bits come in a pack of three, and don't cost that much. Compared to buying something off the shelf (and multiples of it for many plants)This method is cheap and you can choose the size of sweater boy to fit your space. You can also make a several of these at a time. When I stopped growing indoors I moved mine into the greenhouse and put them on the gravel floor to hold pots steady, so you can move these out into the yard in the summer.

Nope, not I. They say they should be received by May 15th on their FB page, so I'm going to wait until tomorrow afternoon before I call them. The thing is, last time I called, they didn't even have a way of tracking my order. I realize it's free, but you'd think I'd be entered into a system somehow and somewhere... Next year they should go back to offering free seeds to charities instead, since that seemed to work just fine. I certainly won't be ordering from them in the future.

Jaynine, sounds like you had better luck with this company than I did. I ordered in early October and sent a money order so I wouldn't have to wait for a check to clear. It was about 7 weeks before I received the order. He did apologize and sent extra packets of seeds. I do agree with you on the prices and selection. He didn't send me a catalog, even thou I believe the website states if you spend over $$10.00 you will receive one. In spite of this I would order from them again if I'm not in a hurry.

Diamon Debs are the only files I use. They last and last. I sometimes find mine at the local Longs, similar to RiteAid, Walgreens, etc. Truth is, I'd personally pay the shipping at Amazon just to avoid having to trek around looking for them!
