I have planted in plastic "Rubber Maid" type containers for many years. They work great, are awesome for soil p/h management, and easy to maintain. However constant exposure to UV light will cause the plastic to degrade, so plan on replacing your containers every 3 years or so. Other wise you may have a heap of soil and plastic bits in your yard one morning.
@julipj2004 I use 'landscapers cloth'. It's the stuff they lay down on areas where they don't want weeds to grow through and will then cover it over with wood chips, rocks, etc... It comes in rolls and you can get it at Home Depot, etc..
I work for myself and seem to run into multitudes of plastic totes, buckets, containers. Now you have convinced me that I can reuse them, rather than let them waste in a land fill.
@sandrajeanification Great idea! I actually just planted a new bucket of onions a few days ago. I'm doing the same with carrots too. One thing though with containers is that you have to stay on top of watering - more so than if they were in the ground.
So, I've managed to nurse about 20 of the seedlings along. For some reason, both times that I planted these seeds, only about half would germinate. I might try a different way next time. When they get a little taller, I'll do a quick video. So far I really like the container method because it gives you better control of their environment.
@sweetlydark Hi, actually only about half the onion seeds germinated, so I have planted more seeds in hopes of filling this container. I added a picture on the blog.
I'll try that with Onions..
