In our post last night we showed you some of what we were using for our containers for gardening this year. I wanted to show you what I did and maybe it would help you if you are going to try this.
I just put a piece of landscaping fabric in the bottom of the tub. It is 2 feet wide and about 8 feet long. Oh, instead of buying a big roll at somewhere like Lowes that is $25.00 check out the Dollar Tree they had a 4x8 sheet for a dollar. Because you all know you buy that big roll and say "I will use it for something." It gets put up and lost or destroyed. I know I have been there and done that and got the t-shirt. LOL. I just put a couple of cheap bags of topsoil on the bottom as a filler and then mixed up a bag of potting soil and manure and put it in there. I will come back later when ready to plant in there and add some more soil. It will take 4 or 5 bags to get it where it needs to be.
This is where I let it for today and I will have to get some more soil to put in it. I wanted to give you another idea on a container to use that I think will help you. I did not want to spend $3.00 on buckets as Craigslist had none on it and the bakeries are letting employees have first go at the buckets they are throwing out. We found another solution to that problem. Here it is and you will never guess where we got these at.
Yes, Dollar Tree is where we got these at. We have had some in the weather for three years with the grandkids toys in them outside and they are still really great. They have not fallen apart or broke into little pieces. It is great for a dollar, these 8 took two bags of soil to fill and I added about a half a bag of manure to the mix then filled these up. I think they will work great for cherry tomatoes and some of our peppers. We have been working on tilling the garden some more today trying to get all the roots and stuff out. It has been a great day and it has been a blast getting our hands dirty. We will have some other ideas for you later so be on the lookout for our posts. I hope you have a great day/night, whatever it is in your neck of the woods.Thanks from
