Making a Container Garden Out Of Junk

Make a container garden out of stuff you were going to through away. Totes, buckets or an old kiddie pool.

hi gardeners and welcome back so I’ve been thinking a lot lately about container garden garden um you know I have some containers that I I started my potatoes in uh and onions in the greenhouse but I have seven raised beds I have some corn in the ground and I have pumpkins in the ground but everything else is in raised beds but some of you may not have room for cons for raised BS some of you may not want them in your yard for whatever reason some of you may live in a very small space so so I have these containers that my son brought me that I’m going to I’m going to fill and use to fill out my garden I just it’s spring and I feel like I need more summer I’m going to feel different but these containers these are great so my son works for a landscape company these are these are what trees come in so you can you might be able to get them for free from a landscape company near you buckets you may have some around your house that you’re not using for anything I use this one so I’m not going to turn it into a container but um you may have old buckets around the house totes I have this one tote that has no lid so I’m going to turn it into a a container garden what I’m going to tell you is it’s deep soil is the most expensive part of filling up a container um so unless you’re planting root vegetables or something with deep roots just fill it up halfway or even 3/4 of the way with branches and stuff like that um you have branches in your yard if you have trees I have a ton as you can see um so then you have to fill it up less with soil less soil in it I have this great soil back here that my son brought me but if you have to buy bag soil it can get expensive so you really only need maybe I don’t know 6 in at the top I mean some’s going to fall through at the bottom but yeah that’s a tip for filling up a container real quick will you please take a second and subscribe it’s not that hard and it really helps the channel a lot and I’m trying to grow I want to get to that first 100 subscribers so do that for me but that’s not why we here we’re here we’re here cuz I was cleaning my yard up and I had this old Kitty pool that I bought last year for the dogs and they never use it I fill it up with water I figured they could cool off in the summer went outside they never use it so I was cleaning up and I was thinking of just throwing it out then I started thinking I could plant stuff in there I mean it’s not thick as you can see um so I would have to plant some plants not can’t plant potatoes in there but um I I don’t know what I’m going to plant in there yet but I’m going to fill it up with dirt and I’m going to make a plan so let me drill some holes in the bottom I drilled drainage holes I’ll drill them in the taup too before I use it and that’s really all you need to do and I have another container so look around your house um look for containers you’re not using and or you’re just going to throw away old totes and buckets and stuff like that or a no kitty pool you might have them lying around the house bought it for the kids they outgrew it they outgrow them quick they outgrew it and now it’s just around the house the backyard and so yeah so that’s just a few ideas for things you can do if you don’t want to plant raised beds I am sh and I will see you in the next one
