How to Grow Vegetables in Containers – A Step by Step Guide || Black Gumbo



Container gardening is a great way to grow your own food and lots of fruits and vegetables without having to have an in-ground garden or a raised bed. You can successfully raise your own food if you live in an apartment, or in the city, on a rooftop, or in areas where you have bad soil. I’ll show you in this step by step how-to video the way I grow vegetables in containers. We will cover all the topics you need to know in order to have great harvests and successful gardening. These simple best practices and universal principles apply to almost every kind of container gardening and will make you a successful gardener.

I’ll also have an update on my Single Seed Challenge!

    Hello! Is it ok not to drill holes in 5 gallon buckets if you put like 2-3 inches of perlite or 3/4" rock in the bottom of it? I'm gardening in my apartment on tables and it works in a 100L storage box but it's heavy and cumbersome and I bought some buckets to try that out. But I can't have water spills. Thank you! I like your videos.

    Thank you now I know how to fertilize my tomatoes and beets. I start my seeds in my hydroponic garden Bless you🫶🏾

    Hi Scott, I enjoy your videos. Have you had any experience with Dow Agrichemicals' broadleaf herbicide called Grazon Next? I have. I used a bale of spoiled hay to mulch some tomatoes, squash and cucumbers. They died. Found out the hay was sprayed with Grazon. I am not against it, I use it myself as weed control. But you don't want it in your garden either by mulch or manure from animals that have eaten hay sprayed with it.

    My wife says her dad used horse manure "tea" on his veggie and strawberry plants and it worked. He also had a worm farm and put worms in his garden.

    I'VE SEEN YOUR VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE STREAMING. TODAY, I'M AT MY COMPUTER AND I SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL. MY ONLY QUESTION IS: WHAT CAN I DO WITH MY EXCESS SEED POTATOES?

  32. Becca Bee

    I have a small backyard with bricks ground, can I put a flower bed on the top of the bricks ground?

    Many thanks for all of the wonderful advice/instruction. I am off to start my container garden. I have a very small space so containers will be the ticket. thanks again.

    My potatoes were a fail this year in large pots. The ones that survived were small. Mine do better in ground.

  44. Yori Regalado

    I’m following several gardening channels, but you’re very thorough in your explanations specially for a new gardener such as myself. I’m subscribed as I’ve picked up much more clarity and realized some things I did wrong just by you explaining pros and cons. Thanks for your videos!
