It worked great. I built two of the big rubbermaid tubs.....But you can also make single plant SIP's out of food grade 5 gallon buckets. I got the wicking pots from Brew and Grow in Roselle (It is a hydroponic/Beer brewing shop) on Irving Park Rd. I get my buckets from a local Hot Dog stand. The whole thing ends up costing under 2.50 a pot. You can add Cages on top to the lids for another 5 bucks. I had 10 going last year with peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers growing from them. They all did great. I will send you some pics to your email. I am making about 10 more this year because they worked so well and they were much cheaper. I did it last year. It worked great.

I wonder how many people make that resolution during the winter only to be tempted by seed catalogs and plant sales in the spring to break it. I'm probably not going to try to grow any in my garden since they did so poor. Although, I think I will grow some again next year in the community garden where they did so well.
