| Hello,
I'm having trouble finding enough 31-gallon Roughneck containers for my Earthtainer ambitions in the San Diego area. Home Depot has the 37-gallon version. I've seen some people mentioning they had used these for Earthtainers. Are there any pitfalls I should know about? Could I go with three tomato plants in these, perhaps? Thanks! |

| You should be using the RuggedTotes available at Lowes. They have a lifetime warranty. also, the gurneys / Burpee cage options will fit only on the 31 gallon RuggedTotes. Raybo |

| Thanks very much Raybo! I appreciate the advice, and the terrific guide. Can't wait to get them built and populated. |

| Hi, I just finished building and planting two EarthTainers. The only thing that was difficult to find was the stainless-steel tubing used to bend the cage; the eBay listing it referenced had long since expired. I finally found the tubing at http://www.aaastainless.com/316smls.html I was glad I found it since it made it super easy to bend the legs on the cage just right. Now I just have to be patient and see how my cucumbers and peppers turn out. Good Luck |

| I just checked the link in the EarthTainer Guide and it worked. Both links are for a Company in Caty TX, so I am assuming it may be the same Company. I just ordered one via the link you posted, so I may change the Guide's link to their direct Site - rather than through Ebay. Have fun with your new EarthTainers!! Raybo |
