Drainage Wastes

Here is my drainage.. Basically 3 gal square pots sitting in 2x2 botanicare tables connected in series to a trash can for waste. The watering system is 1/2" pvc to 1/4" drip tubing. I'm using FFOF soil on this grow, but I designed the system so I move to hydroton next grow. Sorry guys, going hydro. Soil has been good to me, but too messy.

Thanks for the pic casualtoker.

I just cut an 8' panel in half.
The panels are actually 25 1/2" wide.
With that 1 1/2" overlap, I've got a 4'x4'...

I think I can locate a pallet tomorrow...

I know in Jorge Cervantes ultimate grow DVD he shows round containers on top of saucers, but that's just crazy to me. I don't like standing water, especially with all the nutes and molasses tends to get yucky if left for a day or two. I think a drainage system is a must for soil growers. Keep those bottoms dry.
