Default Re: my huge container garden this year

I have done contianer gardens here before. it has just been a few years since I did it. and I was physically more able then.

We put river rocks in the bottom of my containers and that way the soil can drain and the roots wont rot.

Sorry you don't get enough sun. we built on the southwest side of the mountain and get sun all day long. and a wonderful sunset. it is great for winters because our place is the first place the ice or snow melts. and it doesn't cost as much to heat. in the summer I have to use the light out shades and play the north and south game with the shades during the daytime hours so it doesn't heat the home up too much and we can let the air conditioners stay turned down
