Love to Tucky! Thank you lil homie!
I planted in pots and grow bags this year. Here are a few observations:
1. The smaller the pot, the smaller the plant will be. A small pot might be enough to sustain the plant, and it will be healthy and produce for you, but it's size and production will be limited. Always use a bigger container than what's required for that particular type of plant.
2. If you put your container on grass, it will kill the grass in that spot. So be prepared to reseed in the fall.
3. Related to this, if you put your container on a surface you don't want damaged (like decking or a patio), be sure to put a nice large saucer under the container. Otherwise, you could stain the underlying surface due to water filtering through the soil and ending up on whatever surface the container is placed on.
4. This is my biggest one. I planted some chili pepper plants in little 8" plastic pots. Pepper plants grow tall, so they have a high center of gravity. They also grow out, so they act like sails in the wind. Every time the wind blows a little bit, all my pepper plants blow over and I have to pick them up. It's so annoying! Next year, if I grow in containers, I'm going to go with wide, shallow pots to give the plants a lower center of gravity to prevent blow overs.
5. Be prepared to spend a shitload of money on soil! I planted tomatoes in ten gallon grow bags. Ten gallons equates to almost two cubic feet of soil. A two cubic foot bag of Happy Frog Soil costs almost $25. For ten tomato plants, that's $250 just for soil! If you plant them in the ground, the soil is free.
Just my two cents. Containers can be good, but you just have to be aware of certain aspects of growing in them.
Make your own insect netting cover using a cheap tomato cage and insect netting draped over. I had a friend sew a cover that fit over the tomato cage. So cool.
Pepper eating dog. Tuck and James 👍🏻🇺🇸❤❤❤
Yes! Love growing in my Green Stalks! I love the no weeding no pests! It’s awesome!
👍👍👍
That would be awesome to do an education video on custom potting mixes for specific plant families. I learning to do all container gardening and my biggest challenge is what mix to use and how to fertilize containers for specific fruits/veggies. Thanks for all of your videos!
I don’t have access to free food grade buckets so i buy them from Firehouse Subs. They’re cheaper than buying them from big box stores plus the purchase price goes to their charity and not to the store’s till.
Thanks for this video on container growing! Please do a video on the soil mixture that’s good for tomatoes in containers! ❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes we would love to see different types of soils please and thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤ I have lot's of containers
Great advice. I would love to know how you combine your dirt for pots
Would love to see your soil mix and proper way to plant in containers
James what do you use on your Brussel sprouts for those little white moths? Thanks! You’re videos are great!
I live on a hill with no flat area to garden so ALL my plants are in containers all over the place. Although, I only use fabric. Yes, they require more water, but there's pretty much no chance of anything getting rootbound.
I also have a bunch of trees and I can move certain ones around to follow the sun..
Hey, it's a loving obsession!
Hi Tuck and James!❤❤❤❤❤
Tudo maravilhoso RS Sapucaia parabéns 🇧🇷

Hearts for Tuck❤️❤️❤️❤️ I remember when I didn't have much room..container gardening was a life saver…
i, Tuck, I think u r sooo cute, but mom says I'm too old for u. I turned 15 on 9/3, but my vet says I'm 108, I think he says that to be funny when mom complains about stuff that I do. I'm a "rescue", whatever that means. Mom is a foster mom for Yorkie Rescue of America. I think u should become their mascot; I'm sure u have a lot of fans. I love to see u eat carrots, I can't eat them, I don't have very many teeth. Mom says to tell ur dad, James, that he's doing a good job, LLLooovvveee, Khloe
