Container gardens made from 18 gallon storage bins.

Sturdy tomato supports.

Tell Us About Your Garden:

I have made 6 18 Gal. container gardens and grow Tomato varieties, Kale, Collards, Broccoli, Peppers -various, peas, Stevia, Parsley, Herbs. I also have a garden plot in the ground and grow similar plants including Cauliflower, Strawberries, Eggplant (2 varieties) etc.

How I Grow My Vegetable Garden:

I use worms and compost - a healthy plant in a healthy soil. In the garden plot I made low-rise double furrows to conserve water and get the most possible grow area since I have a limited space. In the containers (I will update the photos which show amazing progress/growth) I have used fish emulsion in a 'tea' that I put in the water supply.

Advice

  • Meditate on gratitude for your plants giving you sustaining nourishment and vibe them as much as you water and care, it works!

Thank you so much for sharing your garden with us. I also grow tomatoes in self watering containers that I made from storage bins, and they work wonderfully!
