Re: Legal Buckets

First let me say that I am new to this list and that I am more a
container gardener but I am learning so much from you all.

I was told of an interesting way to grow potatos that would be
container gardening I think. start with one old tire and plant the
potatos in it then put a second tire on top of that and fill with
soil and so on until you get it to the height you want. Not to high or
it will fall over. when you harvest you take the tires off one at a
time and the potatos fall out or are easy to pick out of the exposed
soil.

As for Square containers when I lived in a house and had a yard I had
square foot containers make for me so that I could sit beside them
and garden I have a bad back and would not be able to garden any
other way.
