I just planted in wicking bed yesterday, following the fertilizer and top-watering guidelines. Four hours later, the skies opened up and poured! Tis the season.
He has videos on fertilizer and the amounts to use. He has a blend he sells at his store but you can get the levels and mix it yourself from your local garden store
Thank you Leon for addressing all the rain. I checked all my tubs yesterday to make sure the drain holes were not plugged in any way. So far so good - now I know how to fertilize with all this sky water. Pulled my first zucchini yesterday and a couple of summer squash this morning. Also harvesting spinach, green beans, snow peas and radishes. Your videos have absolutely changed my gardening life.
Not the bottom .if you're going to use the wicking method you will drill a hole on the side 5inches up from the bottom . Look at his wicking method videos.
@@laurie686 sure!. if you watch his video on showing you how to make a wicking system he will show you how to use plastic water bottles or milk jugs or 4inch landscape tubing at the bottom of the bucket. then you drill the hole in the bucket, add the tube that sticks up on the side and add your soil.
NW Ohio farmers are praying for no rain. They are 3-4 week behind right now. One of the downsides of containers is flushing of nutrients especially in artificial soils.
Good morning, and God bless you Leon.
Thanks for your honesty and help with gardening
Which fertilizer do you recommend to mix with water to pour around it, Mr Leon?

Good morning Leon. Your a great American 🇺🇸
I am having a problem with mushrooms growing in my tubs. How do I stop this ?
Hi Leon!
Great video, as always! I wish I had room to grow watermelons and cantaloupe. Guess I will have to drive back up there to get some good ones.
I just started watching you. Do you drill holes in the bottoms of your buckets?
Not the bottom .if you're going to use the wicking method you will drill a hole on the side 5inches up from the bottom . Look at his wicking method videos.
@@EJLily686 Can you do that method in a 5 gallon bucket?
@@laurie686 sure!. if you watch his video on showing you how to make a wicking system he will show you how to use plastic water bottles or milk jugs or 4inch landscape tubing at the bottom of the bucket. then you drill the hole in the bucket, add the tube that sticks up on the side and add your soil.
@@EJLily686 How do I find that episode?

Mr Leon I'm trying bush type tomatoes this year.dobi need to sucker them
I’ve always grown bush type and I always remove the suckers.
I'm down here on lake Livingston Texas, I top dresses my plant yesterday and it rained all, Did that wash out my granular top dressing?
Good morning 🌄!
Do you have climbing/pole speckled Butterbean seeds for sell ?

Don't let the rains warsh away your gains
