    This is a really good idea!! I would make these additions... Instead of the white PVC, use the Gray PVC. The gray PVC cost the same, but it is treated to resist sun damage. Over the years, white PVC will deteriorate due to sun damage. That is why gray is used for electrical uses. Also, you might try putting the upright pieces in flowerpots with concrete. They would still be portable. Thanks for you video.

    • @theplantninja-texasgardener
