oh dear - another overpriced container gardening kit . . . .
get yerself a waxed lettuce box, some soil-less mix from Tru-Value / other (soil-less mix is peat moss, ground up/composted bark, perhaps some perlite or styrofoam pellets to lighten it, etc. - no "dirt" - and it's not "potting soil") a bag of dried cow manure, and follow the directions.
there's just no $300 magic involved in container gardening.
I've seen folks have wonderful success just plunking the bags of soil-less mix (big bags - 2 ft x 3 ft, roughly, ??40 lbs?) right on concrete - making X cut holes in the plastic and growing plants (ususally from starter pots) in the holes. no magic marketing beans invovled.
if you don't pay attention to your containers (especially watering - they dry out faster than land plots) you'll kill the upsidedown tomato plants right along with anything else. |
