How To Build A Self-Watering Organic Container Garden

http:\\www.EasiestGarden.com - You can purchase the plans and DVD at that website showing you how to convert containers into a productive garden. We do over 75% of all our growing in these containers now, and provide a significant portion of our food right out of these. They are easy to build, cheap, and use recycled containers. There are similar things sold for over 50$ PER CONTAINER, and they do not work as well as these do - these are 100% self watering once they are set up, and NEVER require you to use a water hose and stand over them.

I= THINK ITS CALLED EBB FLOW 12 BUCKET SET UP WITH 55 GAL DRUM AND TIMED CONTROLLER ?499

@mcpsoundman No, this is not ebb and flow and does not require any timer - that's why it's so great. This requires no pumps, no electricity, no pressurized water, nothing expensive. Just some used buckets, some tubing, and a float - the float is usually the most expensive part. And yet it is almost completely maintenance free. It is MUCH better than an ebb and flow system.

I'd like to have a garden that sustains my individual grocery needs. I'm thinking potatoes, carrots, berries, etc. How many of these buckets do you think you'd need to support an individual? Or would the barrel garden be better?

[HowToDrillAWell]

@ishootrifles It's impossible to say; too much depends on climate, your tastes, how much you eat vegetables, etc. I would start with ten buckets (that won't be enough) and practice with it - plant a variety of produce and see how it produces for you and how much it lasts you. Then you know how much to pursue and what to plant next season. The barrel garden is more efficient for growing lettuce and berries and small rooted plants than the container garden.

This is a system we developed through years of trial and error and to my knowledge there is nothing like it on the market at any price.

@kenfla2 If you look at those free plans, and those expensive 50$ - plus containers, even though they claim to be "self-watering" what they really are is "less watering". That means you have to fill the container once or twice a week; better than the old way, yes.

But these are NEVER watered. Once you plant the seed, a human hand need never touch the bucket again until you pick the fruit. And no pressurized water is required, nor electricity.
