Finding Blue Barrels For Aquaponics In Chiang Mai

[kafka4prez]

I'd like to buy somereconditioned HDPE plastic blue barrels. Does anyone know where these can befound around Chiang Mai? I'd like to cut thebarrels in half and use them as grow beds. The barrels would also makeexcellent water storage tanks.

Maybe there is a market or site that sellsreconditioned materials likethese? http://www.google.co...4l925l2-2.1l3l0

Thanksin advance for any thoughts!

Welcome to the forum. I cant help you with CM, but every farmer around here has at least 1 barrel like that for spraying crops. They are sold by all types of hardware suppliers, recycling companies and even some feed stores that sell pumps and hoses. Take a drive around the town or ask anyone who has one. Should not be hard to find. I make aerated compost tea brewers out of them.

There are a few shops selling those on the northside outer moat road. Most concentrated in the last 500 meters before arriving at the NE corner of the moat.
