I live in the city so this is perfect. I was not aware that it may need stabilization for the set up to be 8’ x2’ ( totally made sense after filling it up!) so I ran to the hardware store an bought 2 foot of threaded rod and 4 wing nuts. Worked like a dream! ( it was really 7’ 10” long and 1’ 10” wide as specified after set up) My 3 year old tomato seed experiments are happy...and so am I!
