very nice information👌👌👌
Hai!! A fan from India. We have tomato plants in grow bags. They are growing well but the size of the flower was small…
Please tell me any tip for that.
Thanks in advance…!
would be wise to grow in food grade buckets —most buckets leech out toxins
Should add peat moss to the buckets, because containers tend to dry out quickly, 50% of each is a good mix
Tomatoes are fruits not vegetables
My name is Kenny from northern Kentucky look up the history of biochar for gardening tell everyone you know passed it on it's good for bad clay soil ok for good soil barn wood to char douse it with water then dry it out then activate it with worm castings or compost liquids first I also like rocket store Mas s heaters couches earthships homes are nice too
Food grade buckets would be best. Plasic #1 or #5
Tomatoes, peppers, bell peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. You're welcome.
Thanks for watching! Leave a comment below on what you're planning on growing this year.

Can we grown zucchini in buckets?
You have to be very careful with your feet when you use buckets for gardening because the last thing you want to do is kick the bucket. Lol 😂
For watering, I use at least quart sized bottles (wine bottle probably the best).
I fill them with water, invert them and quickly shove them in and out of the soil so the opening doesn't get clogged.
As soil dries out, air is drawn into the bottle and water released, thus giving a more even moisture.
Plastic bottles collapse and degrade in sunlight.
Can you have multiple plants in one bucket?
I use cat litter buckets for my contaner garden
gravel or any rock in the bottom is actually far worse than just using your grow medium, the "saturation zone" works its way to the top, which is exactly what you don't want in a bucket, you can actually see it happen in a clear container, try without the rock maybe….
I want to grow zucchini and we seem to always get the bore weevil. Can I plant a zucchini in a 5 gal bucket and will the bore weevil still get to the zucchini? Thanks for your ideas for the plants. Hope to do this idea this year.
I tried tomatoes in a 5 gallon buckets and only got maybe 3 tomatoes per plant. They hardly produced at all
Won't let me give a thumb up. Fyi
Is that Price is Right font
