I like sitting my containers in a kiddie swimming pool. I put a hole about 3 inches up from the bottom for an overflow. Maybe a few rocks for decoration. But all I have to do is keep water mixed with a little fertilizer, 1 teaspoon per gallon, in the bottom of the pool. Seams to work pretty well.

Id like to try this. I live in north Carolina it gets up to 100 in the summer. This seems like a good option. Im new to gardening though and wondering if you keep water in the pool constantly. I thought that that could be the same as overwatering if they don't need the water at that moment.

Just started container gardening last week and I made my own garden mix of organic compost, peat moss and perlite. However, I realized that the perlite that I purchased from the big Box store had slow release fertilizer already built in. Can I still add additional fertilizer to the mix at this point? I'm afraid it may be too much. I live in zone 10a for reference. Thank you Gary for the wealth of information you provide in your videos!

I know this is contrary to your advice, but I successfully grew indeterminate tomatoes this year in 5 gallon buckets. Staking was a challenge but I figured it out. They’re over 7 feet tall and I’ve cut the growing tips at this point but I made it work. Also bell peppers, jalapeños, determinate tomatoes and herbs did excellent in those same buckets. Again the only real challenge was the staking. Had to get creative but it worked.

Hi Gary... Love the videos mate... keep them coming !! Quick question...I'm in New Zealand and I'm starting a container garden...my preferred soil mix is equal parts compost/ peat moss and top soil... with some perlite mixed in as well... my question is should I hydrate the peat moss 1st before adding with the compost/top soil?? will also add in blood n bone and lime fertilizer. Im also doing container potatoes so being acidic loving i could leave out the lime?? your thoughts please Keep up the awesome vids mate Cheers🙂

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

More to come. Peat moss is slow to take up water alone. Mixed with everything, dry is probably fine though. I moisten it cause it is dusty when making it.

Hi Gary, may I know how long we can use the soil and when do we need to rejuvenate the container soil? Thank you

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Generally speaking every year or new crop you have to add some fertilizer. They can go 2 season without being dumped and refreshed. At about 2-3 years. I dump them on a tarp and and in new amendments of peat or coir, worm casting and such and refill. Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at...

Do root pouches tend to dry out quicker when compared to plastic or galvanized steel containers?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

They would technically. But they stay cooler than dark plastic and metal. So that helps the roots and reduces evaporation. But the will wick more to the container material.

Thanks for this video! A few days ago, I direct sowed a couple kale seeds in a 5-gallon container, and 8 pea seeds in another 5-gallon container. I'm not too worried about watering once (if) they sprout, but until then, how much should I worry about over-watering them? I know I've read some things about possibly dislodging seeds when watering, is that a big concern?

[@eyeone2]

Thanks Gary got a question: if I use 1/2 peatmos 1/2 wood chips + all the slow release and liquid fertilizer would it work for a potting mix or should I also add soil?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

In theory yes but the wood chips have to be finely shredded (less chips and more fibers) and well broken down as not to take nitrogen from your plants. I have some straight shredded hardwood beds I grow in. Worst case you need more nitrogen while it stabilizes for growing.
