2010 Container & Upside Down Garden, Growing Herbs, Peppers, Tomatoes & Cucumbers - Update 1

[AngelikavonDeutschla]

Why not making raised garden beds? More room for the veggies to grow better? Long time gardner

@AngelikavonDeutschla I have a small yard and this was just kind of a neat little hobby. Gotta crawl first, right?

Thanks for your videos! Can you tell me how you mixed your soil? that would be very helpful :)

[Yewtoobnube]

@sunflowereyes1 Absolutely! I mix 1/3 Miracle Gro Garden Soil for Flowers and Veggies, 1/3 Miracle Gro Potting Mix w/ Moisture Control and 1/3 Bumpercrop. I sprinkle in a little blood meal and a little bone meal. Thanks for asking.

what's the name of the pots your growing your peppers in and where did you buy them?

[Yewtoobnube]

@swsebrownsugar1888 They don't have a name. I buy all of my pots @ Dollar General. The square pots on the table are about $1 each and the round pots that hang are about $1.50. Cheap and easy. Doesn't get much better than that. Thanks for posting.

I love watching your videos. I have watched all from last year and look forward to this year's videos. What are the size of your pots on the tables? Are you going to use your Topsy Turvy planters this year?

[Yewtoobnube]

@mister8bal Hey, thanks, I appreciate that. The square pots measure 9" x 9" x 6" tall. They seem small but were extremely successfull last year. The round pots with the bell peppers are 11" in diameter an 9" tall.

Well im happy you decided to do it again this year. i just finished watching all your vids , great job with your garden. Cant wait to see what the 2010 weather will give us. Im sort of a novice gardner,so watching your vids gave me many good ideas.Couple questions for you. Do just mix all those contents for the soil together or is there a recipe. AND do you feed your veggies any nutrients/fertilizers or just water?

[Yewtoobnube]

@ChiefGreenthumb Thanks for posting. I'm definately a novice gardener, so we're the same. The components that I use, I toss together in thirds. It's not exact, but i use 1/3 of each. Last year, I used Miracle Gro for tomatoes once or twice. Not gonna use anything this year tho and see how it goes. Appreciate the kind words. I find the gardening very relaxing and rewarding.

Looks great you have a nice selection. :)

[Yewtoobnube]

@SkeeterUK Thanks bud. We'll see how it goes.

Do you find that with 2 cucumbers in 1 pot like you have that you'll have to relocate after a while? My cucumbers aren't big enough to transplant yet but when they are I may do them upside down. Well at least 2 of them. I put 2 cantaloupes in 1 10 or 12" container and I hope it will be ok.

[Yewtoobnube]

@dgmunch not sure but i'm gonna try it. it's a pretty large container so i'll watch and keep you informed.
