did you drill holes in the bottom?

[survivalistboards]

yes, I cut some holes in the bottom for the rain water to drain out.

Good vid! If your in a bad situation those very fast growing crops can prevent starvation! Lettuces of many different types also grow extremely fast and are nearly as nutritious as spinich. I think another good video would be on how to make good compost. You'll need good soil ammendments in a survival situation and a large supply of compost would be priceless if your forced to grow your own food supply.

For winter growing you could build a cold frame around your planters it's like a mini green house they even work in negative degree weather

Will you consider a hunting class or Do it Yourself hunting video or even a school dedicated to teaching the art of hunting? Mark

[therealsporadicaarmy]

could you grow inside in the winter? just put them at the patio window or near it? (in sunlight of coarse) also where i am it hardly rains much, so that could use up my water in case i need to survive.

i hope that whole tub is not filled with the same material i see on the top. The chunks of decaying wood etc. attract bacteria necessary for decomposition. The bacteria will decide to decompose the root system of your plants. mulch is only used to retain moisture i the soil, by providing a barrier between soil and air. (sheets of plastic could also be used.) hope there are drainage holes, and that the tray is raised off the ground.
