This "lettuce tube" didn't work for us. I think it might have, if we supported it better when hanging, but the way we did it was too saggy and didn't work. The cardboard tube wasn't strong enough. I tried another one with pvc pipe, but that was too hard to deal with. I have limited set of hand tools and the hacksaw wasn't making it easy. I think if I had a band saw or something to be able to make an easy cut in half of the pvc pipe it would work nicely.

If it'll hold soil or grow don't throw it out
