If it doesn't work you could dig a couple trenches underneath, empty the barrels into the trenches, replant, and call it a garden.

Then add a light deck and a couple lawn chairs on top, cut the legs off and haul that sucker to the river.

If he had not cut barrels in half, could have made floating dock.

I have 6 Barrels. Want something up waist high. 

Brother in Law said they will dry out too fast. I'm thinking put PVC Pipe down the middle,  drill some holes and water with this.

                     They will dry out quickly if you have drain holes on the very bottom. If no drain holes your plants will drown during rainy weather periods. If you have decided to go this route, may I suggest drain holes approximately four inches up from bottom of beds on ends or sides. this will give roots a place to get moisture. During extended dry periods daily watering is a must. There are many ways to incorporate a slow drip system to extend the daily watering if you are gone a few days at a time. Get your thinking cap on and figure things out.

Could put my Watering on a Timer, which I know would be right but my stupid mind says that is lazy. 

I'm thinking of putting my Blueberries and Asparagus right into the soil instead of Raised Beds.

Have a regular Garden was going to put up Tomatoes and Okra in there.

            Will work seasonal but might be tough on the roots because above ground it will freeze solid. I would go with annual plants each year. think about leaning towards that at first.

Thinking of making it easy just use my regular Garden for all and more exercise bending over. Just make sure I have my phone.

                  Good idea! He can call it his truck or tractor and drive it all around no license needed. @oneshot 1 @oneshot will they let you drive this?
