You make my day Mrs. Elektra. Stay positive and bless.
Fill the bottoms with plastic containers you buy flowers in so you don't need so much soil. Also you need to put dirt up further…like 2" from the top. You need more soil inn the barrels or any containers. Have been gardenng for over 20 years. Good luck!
Also wanted to say, I love your videos!!
Elektra, you can also throw some plastic bottles in the bottom of the container to fill the space & then add your soil. 😬
Looks very nice and colorful . I love container gardens, L have them around my house .So until next time God bless you
ELEKTRA, I LOVE ALL YOUR POTS AND FLOWERS, DON'T FORGET TO GIVE US AN UPDATE…… TFS…….. CHRISTINA
Pine needles are good for keeping your plants moist . Wow bulbs you might be able to keep at the end of the season and put back in those bags that they came in for following year .. Everything looks good . 💕👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You'll be able to keep the dirt year to year and just add some fresh soil to each year. You don't have to pour old soil out . You can put tomatoes in the barrel next year … Have fun planting !❤️❤️❤️
I love your channel ❤️🌹Hope you have a Wonderful 4th. Of July🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️You are TERRIFIC 🙋🏻🌹
You can put packing beans in the bottom of the pot then you will use less soil
Everything looks so pretty!! I need to go get a lemon tree, thank you for inspiring!! I love your channel!!
A vlogger on here called (Self sufficient me) has alot of gardening info… I just started gardening you can grow potatoes in a bucket. lol But I like to know about gardening. I love your garden and your decor. Happy 4th!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You can put empty pots upside down to take up space in your pot your putting your plants in, that way you don't have to use so much does and it helps with drainage.
Dirt
Do you bring in the lemon tree in the winter?
Hi Elektra. I mix stones with dirt and wet it with water and a little bit of miracle grow on my post to help the new plants. Never had a problem. The small/med. Stores help the roots breath and it helps with drainage. Another tip. I learned so you do not over water is to put your finger in the dirt. If it still moist wait to water. The majority of potted plants die for over watering or under water. Once it is ready to water you must put water until it comes out of the bottom of the pot. Of course I hope you made wholes under the bottom of the pot. I hope this helps. My channel is crafting from the heart. Hugs
