Big Blue 55Gal - Perfect for Garden Irrigation
5 months ago
Bought two - great price and quick ship, just in time to set up hydro in a couple of polytunnels. Shipped to store via UPS, arrived in large box rather than kicked around in supply chain and nasty labels stuck all over the outside that are nearly impossible to remove. (been there done that) Good Ideas have produced the Big Blue55Gal for several years - it's nice to know I can continue to add to my hydro project. Big Blue 55Gal is standard food safe barrel. Has two ports one low near ground the second just short of half way. Faucet and bulkhead plug inclkuded. The near ground port is handy to connect several together. Access on top via two standard 4inch drum screwds One has the bulkhead screw plug removed and screening applied to opening.
