Just be sure there are no kinks or the possibility of kinks forming (keep it short enough), and it should go near the top and inside of your irrigation pipes...then when you overfill it will pour out. If you have neighbors below be sure to have a substantial bucket to catch the run off. The amount and size of pipe is only determined by how much water (and for how long) you want to store...you could absolutely do double the perforated pipe if desired.

I have two questions though. Is the small overflow pipe large enough during lengthy rain storms? Would you recommend either increasing the diameter of the overflow pipe or adding an another pipe somewhere? Additionally if I wanted to make my box twice as large e.g. 3ftx2ft would I put double the perforated drain pipes and add an additional overflow pipe? The reason I ask is because I am on a top floor apartment and would love to have a balcony garden but want to make sure my downstairs neighbors don't get my extra water.

They are drainage system tubes for sewer and storm. You can purchase them already perforated or solid in a variety of sizes, and you can find them in the plumbing section of your hardware store. <br />Hope that helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07417722790128854674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575045722937055917.post-58510884009664061682014-03-24T22:57:35.330-04:002014-03-24T22:57:35.330-04:00Hi there, thank you for that great tutorial! - Two...Hi there, thank you for that great tutorial! - Two questions: What are those thick black hoses called?
