    One year I raised 64 pots of vegetables and my elderly neighbor are well from my garden. Most containers I got cheap from a barbeque restaurant, but had to buy one 5 gallon container for cucumbers. I used 1/2 top soil 1/2 bagged compost. I ate a lot of veggies raw or stir fried quickly to keep nutrients. (I also bought raw almonds and made fresh almond milk twice a week.) Best thing about all of this was that my memory became much sharper even continuing for 6 months later after I had to move away and could not continue to garden. Still keep a bucket of bunching onions growing (now three years old) and smaller containers of fresh mixed greens planted about four days apart so I always have fresh salads.

    OMG!!! Finally!!! A guide with step by step directions. I LOVE your channel!!! I have watched others that have the vegetables already planted without any guidance of size or types of pots to use or how many holes are needed. I live in zone 7 in Georgia but have not had much luck growing anything. I'm on the 3rd floor and only get the morning sun. I brought my house plants in for the winter and have them under grow lights. Perhaps I can use them on my balcony also after the sun moves. Thank you for the guide on types of pots. That may have been another thing that I was doing wrong. I have a deTf orange and lemon tree that I bought in 2019 that I have gotten maybe 1 fruit from each and that was BEGORE I reported them. None since then. After viewing this video. They get another chance before going in the garbage. Thanks again!!

      Please read my Post of 30SEPT2022, it is important to make your own Soil Mix, and not use the soil mix straight out of the bag. It is important to SHIFTED the soil out of the bag to take out all the wood, and what ever else is in there, once you SHIFTED the soil, you will see how "FINE GRAIN" the soil will be. It will make your seeds and plants grow better. My post I posted today, will give you the directions. Start out w/one or two clothing bins, Good Luck . Remember if you make your own soil mix, it will be better than the soil mix that is sold and cheaper and minus the impurities that can harm your seeds and plants. NEVER BUY SOIL FOR VEGTABLES, BUY SOIL MIX ONLY & SHIFTED & PUT IN THE INGRIDIENTS that is on my Post.

      My dad used to cut the bottom off a juice container bottle and push the neck end into the soil and water his plants that way. We've gone down the route of "gluing" two terracotta pots together and burying them - works quite well but I got a bit ambitious and bought some larger terracotta pots , it was such a pain to dig those big holes to bury them : (

    I just retired and wanted to do something different, 1st I got a small back yard, I mean 20-25' Wide X 100' if that, so any way I got the 'PLANTING BAGS", and I mixed some soil, some of the seeds did germinate but only got a fruit or two. So I started all over, and the 2nd time did not work either, so I did some research & I threw away the bags, saved the soil, and I got 5 Clothing Bins w/lids. I drilled holes about 1'' up from the bottom all the way around, no holes underneath on each bin. Then I drilled holes on one of the lids, and then I SIFTED the soil, once done , I put 1:1 ratio cow manure, w/new shifted soil from new bag, peat moss, then I put 2 hand fulls of lime, 5-5-5 fertilizer. The 'SOIL MIX" came out very AIRY and SOFT, SHIFTING is Important, so I am now grow some cucumbers, yellow squash, 2 different varieties of tomatoes. I used ONLY HYBRID SEEDS, it is my understanding they will produce just one generation of fruit and that is fine, but the most important reason I chose HYBRID SEEDS, is that they grow both MALE & FEMALE flowers, they are SELF Pollinating. That is MY UNDERSTANDING. Other types of seeds will grow more FEMALE FLOWERS thAN MALE BY 10:1 RATIO. I know it is late into the season, but w/Climate Change,. I water the plants 2 times a week, and after watering them, I put a 1/2 tea spoon of Fish & Seaweed Liquid into a gallon of water, and then I only pour that on around the plants' base. I think I might get about a 3-4 weeks of cool mild weather before the freeze hits here in the Galveston, Tx area usually in late Jan or Feb for sure. So I will see what happens. But am looking forward to planting early next year.

I went to Lowe's and HomeDepot and there is nothing that label "compost". I spoke to the lady that works in the garden area. She said I can substitute with 1/3 of composted cow manure or composted chicken manure. Is this right? Thank you.

    my experience from container gardening is: You will waste too much water. Even w/mulch it's too expensive. Last year, 2022 was trial & error, 1st I have a small grass yard. 20' Wide X 60' Long, so discarded all my containers and decided I still did not want to dig up my back yard. So I made a Raised Wood Garden, 8' Long X 3' Wide, and it stands 15" high. I built this in the middle of the Texas Drought and it came out perfect. I reused the dirt from the containers, and added bone meal & cow manure on the top, the middle was soil & the bottom are branches & cardboard . So I know that the growing season is all most over, but I planted cucumbers, red, yellow & orange bell peppers, and some tomatoes, all are growing great, and a lot less water. If you still want to go w/container gardening, try 1-2 containers at first and see how that works for you. I think container gardening can be good for one that lives in an apartment, but a raised garden is better, and much less expensive.

      My situation is the opposite case. I started with raised beds then had to switch to containers simply because my neighbor’s trees’ air roots killed all my plants in raised beds. Two years in a row no matter how I tried to intervene. Those air roots also invaded into the containers😢 As a result I must put containers on raised platforms.

    Lovely information cuz I'm running out of space now a quick thing about your soil mix for the container it's the same formula as Mel's mix now I have a shortage of finding vermiculite is perlite a good substitute? Thank you in advance.

      Yes, I prefer vermiculite, but it's getting hard to find. Perlite is a good substitution. Yes this is "Mel's Mix".

      Hey Karen, I just happened upon your comment. Do you know anyone in your area using GreenStalk Vertical Planters. I am not an affiliate so not trying to sell you one. I just use theirs and really like the product. Its guaranteed for 5 years. Was your question based on the fact that you have a dry climate? Lolly

      @@karensabolcik2511 What if you just experiment and try adding coco coir or vermiculite to your bags along with the other potting mix or whatever you are using. They are super at helping with water retention. If you have already looked into that sorry, I am late to the party! Sometimes they cause too much water retention so in your case maybe the right amount would be helpful.

      @@morninggloryfarmstead yea I got vermiculite and water retention crystals. Gonna try them w a drip system. It was advised to me not to use coco coir and peat moss bc it can rot the roots and they need a lot of drainage. I was also told no brick, concrete, or plastic or metal containers to grow in - ugh. It was easy to grow in NJ but seems there is a lot of and and butts for az lol

    Hello, May you help me as I'm new to gardening. I am renting a house and wanted to start a garden with containers which I think if I started with raise beds it would not be beneficial to me if I ever have to start with soils.

    My issue with container gardening is fertilising.
    Just as you say, we need to fertilise more often due to water drainage system.
    Considering your area it recycles back to your soil, considering others as mine, we don't have an inch of soil to drain through. It goes through drains.
    So i prefer raised bed or ground gardening more.
    Pots are good for ornamental plants.

      If you are gardening in containers and having issues with pests, using bagged potting soil may help. Be sure to clean out your containers well and inspect any plants for pests before adding them to your containers.
