My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

55 gallon drum cut in half long ways...

17 years ago

I would like to plant strawberries in it and am debating about the need to drill holes in the sides to plant into or just plant on the top open part and let the plants trail down.

I am thinking that I could plant about 8 to 10 plants per (spaced one per approx. 10 inches on each side) container without extra holes. Any thoughts?
