I've decided to start including costs in my blog. This costs will take time and material into consideration. I mean the almighty dollar is king, but my time(and yours) is valuable also. First, I'll try to remember everything to date. These figures won't be totally accurate, but should be close.
Originally I used a bunch of material that I had laying around. I'm sure this stuff was pricey when it was purchased but I won't count this money.
Material:
2 railroad ties (for the legs of the grow bed stand)
2 55 gallon plastic drums
1 metal trough holder (holds the 55 gallon drum halves horizontal)
1 70 gallon watering tub
1 sump pump
I purchased the rest of these materials:
1 water pump $50
10' 3/4" pvc $2.50
misc pvc fitting $10.00
pvc glue $5.00
20' 1/2" plastic tubing $5.00
3 1/2" brass fittings $15.00
1/2 yard pea gravel $20.00
1 aerator $25.00
1 quart plumbers putty $5.00
1 tube silicone $5.50
5 dozen minnows $12.00
1 filter pad $8.00
I'm not going to itemize the time. I figure it's been about 20 hours so far.
That about sums it up. As I spend more money and time on it I'll keep track on these posts.
