I would try to figure out a way to turn them into water reservoirs which pots can sit in or on top of, like a very long, cylindrical Quadgrow. That would really cut down on the compost needed. A big hydro growing system type thing, might be possible.

Like this............PT,/2 pipes/path/2 pipes/PT.
Not sure that would work with the cradles though?? I’ve just had a Play with this . PT /2 pipes /path /1 pipe /PT.
That works.
not quite enough space for 2 pipes either side.
I could cut the other half pipe into 1m lengths and probably do a teared stand.

Have you worked out how you're going to block the open ends of the pipes to stop everything running/falling out?

Apparently (according to Bob) as long as the plastic you’re using to weld is the same as the stuff you’re welding to. It’ll work.

On a much smaller scale, I used pieces of polystyrene sheet to block the ends of the guttering I grow salad in, in the GH. That's what made me think about your massive pipes!
