  • I have quick question. I happen to use clear container. Is that bad for root system? I have been reading up mix review on the topic. Some say cover it up so that you dont expose the roots to sunlight some say doesn't matter.

    Any ideas?

  • @mdamehta I've never tried clear buckets before. I do know that others gave. I've seen this done with 2 liter soda bottles and they are clear. Might be a good experiment.

  • looks loke a nice way to cut your finger off.

  • @mysqueeker Keep you fingers out of the way.

  • Why do you clear your bucket with bleach? there are so many bacilli, viri and fungi in the soil, that you have them aggain in your bucket. They spread also via air, so it is really useless. It's just a waste of money and even dangerous for other garden plants if you throw it back into your garden.

  • @inkontinentius The bleach might not be needed, especially if the bucket is new. I often reuse buckets over and over. Some of my buckets have been used to carry the dog poop around while I scoop the yard. Cleaning the bucket after that, I think is a good idea. If you don't want to bleach it, don't. If it makes you feel better, do it. Bleach is fairly safe, especially in small amounts.

  • I think that is brilliant, thanks for the instruction, will try this right now!

  • you make funny faces

  • @mdamehta i tried this last year and it started to grow some kind of green moldy plant looking thing it wasn't bad it didnt do any harm so its OK

  • @mysqueeker

    I guess you had better be careful.

  • @inkontinentius

    Then don't do it.

  • @TiredGarden I drill 5/16" holes and hang the bucket with 1/4" rope. Will never break. Lengths of bamboo or anything from ground to planter will train the plants.

  • Great video. Thankyou so much

  • why grow it upside down man
