Garden

Anyone doing a garden this year? I'm debating about trying a pot garden. Ok, get your mind off of that, I'm just talking about using planting pots to grow some veggies. Anyone try this?

I use 5 gallon buckets to grow tomatoes . Works out great , drill some holes and dump in some river gravel in the bottom before you put in the soil to help with drainage . Easy as pie and no weeding . My brother has used the bucket method for hot peppers also .

You ever try potatoes in it? I'm debating if I want to grow some this year or not.

No , I've never planted potatoes in that manner . I don't know how well they would do , but it never hurt trying it though .
