In Need of IBC or Barrels!

Looking to expand my system in Sac. Anybody have anything cheap or a hook up? Would like to get set up and cycling so I can be growing by early spring :)

Here is a supplier for IBC's, barrels, and buckets. I found this guy on craigslist (super chill) and he has TONS of stuff. IBC's are 100 a pop, and I can't remember how much the barrels were though.

Get a 50 foot roll of duraskrim from globalplasticsheeting.com for $160. It is 6 foot wide and will make one 48x4 foot grow bed at 12 inches deep. Way cheaper then a $100 ibc for grow beds.

Met Roy today. Good deals- seemed like $10-20 cheaper than what others in the area were offering. His "dirty" totes aren't too bad. I got a mid range one -seems like it will be easy enough to clean. We'll see how long this takes me to get it up and running.
