Glad you like it. Just poke plenty of holes for good drainage and you'll have great tomatoes.

We've had so much rain here in Ohio but I still managed to get a lot of my herbs that wintered over in the garage into the ground. Mother's Day is the official day here.

You can plant herbs in containers closer than you would in the ground since you may be harvesting them sooner due to the fact that you control how much sun, etc. they get. You'll have to fertilize and water a bit more, though. The spacing is a personal thing - I use the French Intensive Method in my in-ground herb garden. Everything's close together so it chokes out weeds.

WIll do later today. Oh and for Beca, I would wait until they get a bit larger before thinning out. The ones you thin out are great in salads, stir friees, etc.

Have you grown Herbs indoors over the winter like Basil, Thyme and Sage ? Any quick tips on doing it successfully.

[RecipeCook]

@9aspengold5 Yes, they work well if they have a lot of light and air circulation. Once they get established, don't overwater as that's what usually kills indoor herbs. Basil can be started from seed; thyme & sage either from seed or small plants. Also try chives from seed. Rita from AboutEating. com

I made an organic raised container garden so you don't hurt your back as much...

There is an even easier way to grow your own fresh veggies and herbs. Its called The Bucket Garden. I have one in my back yard and love it! Ted Hallett, The Garden Master is taking the best of hydroponics gardening, organic gardening and has wrapped it up in a high bred container garden.

That is so cool. I live in an apartment and have only a backporch balconly and front porch landing. This is perfect for that. Thank you so much.

miracle grow is poison! but love the video

...this doesn't look like a good idea, diapers i assume aren't exactly food safe, the white stuff just sounds dangerous, and the "soil" is basicly falling out of the basket...i mean this looks very nice, but it just seems like a diy superfund project

"In a week or so, this little container garden will have grown at least 6 inches" - Oh my gosh, really?! Not so in England!
