My wife found another benefit to seed starting at home. She sells the extra plant starts. She sold enough to pay for the seeds plus some last year.

[@awsomeman253]

How'd she do that? I oversowed a lot this year lol

[@kangakong]

@@awsomeman253 you can always just give them away to encourage people to garden and give them some tips. When covid hit I seeded 100 extra starters and gave them to neighbors. Several people offered to pay me but I took trade instead, one neighbor offered to help me take out the brick in my yard so I’d have more growing space and a couple others did some heavy lifting, moving things that I was going to pay someone to do. This year I’m going to sell the flower starters and give away 2 vegetable starters per family, anything over, they can buy. Not sure what to charge.

I reuse 50- and 25-pound feed sacks as grow bags. The woven plastic fabric type need some drainage added, but last at least two seasons for me. I find them especially well suited to growing potatoes and sweet potatoes, rolling the tops down and filling partially with soil, unrolling as more soil is added. HUGE yields for such a small space, and very easy to harvest.

[@KCJohn316]

Can regular folk get feed bags somewhere? Love that suggestion!

[@WinkTartanBelle]

@@KCJohn316 Ask anyone who buys bags of feed for any animal. Even large dog food bags could work, if you wipe off the greasy inside. It doesn’t take long to have more bags than you need. I always felt bad if I didn’t at least reuse mine as trash bags.

I placed bags of topsoil I got cheap at home depot and punched hundreds of tiny drain holes in the bottom of the dirtbags and placed them in the trough. The plants grew great. the water dried up every 3 days so no mosquitos.

Brilliant. Now you should put an inverted pot inside to save potting mix and maintain a moist air pocket. Then daisy chain a bunch of boxes together via 1/4" drip irrigation to a 55 gallon barrel and set up a yogurt container float valve a la Dr. Kratky style.

[@gtaus1]

I was thinking of something along the same concept, except maybe using a control bucket with float stop for setting the water level at about 3 inches and then chaining all the boxes together on a level surface. I would use the boxes as sub irrigated planters, with 4 inch perforated drain hose in the bottom to leave a 1 inch air gap in the drain hose. An overflow hole at about 3.5 inches in each box to prevent flooding from heavy rains. A simple rain barrel could supply the control bucket with water, no need to check water level on each individual box if chained together. No standing water in the boxes for mosquitoes to breed if used as sub irrigated planters. Like the idea of Kratky float to chain together boxes not on level ground, or if some boxes require other levels of water.

[@carrolwright7915]

I was thinking more of putting a couple of used plastic Folger coffee cans in the bottom with holes in them to hold water for longer duration between watering.

A variation is to cut the bottom of the bag. Push in the bottom of the box to reinforce the sides. You can now create an open bottom container. I think putting the box in the bag and then taking the top and bottom of the bags and to line the inside might be good as it will make it triple thick(if the bag is big enough).

Wow. Great idea. I’m just seeing this now. What I’m going to do, I am going to use the bags that the birdseed comes in, instead of the sandbags , for the wicking container. I have a lot of these, and was trying to figure out how I should use them in the garden and you have just given me a great idea. Thank you very much.

I just made my first self watering box and it went well. Thanks for posting your idea. This will work great in my garden. I really appreciate it!
