Gardening

I'm too green to have known it was heresy.

I did them in layers, mulch at the bottom then a bit of top soil/garden soil mixed with peat moss & some perlite, then potting soil or garden soil/top soil peat moss mix, then the seedling, then some more mixed soil if not potting soil to fill in. Finally at the very top I use more top soil since the roots aren't creeping to the surface.

I used cheap dollar store buckets for mid sized pots.

I also intend to use wood shim shingles instead of more expensive wooden stakes to hold the weed fabric down as well as galvanized wire instead of the fabric staples. I haven't gotten that far yet I need to lay the soaker hose out first then I can put down the fabric and anchor everything.

Oh and I use a fly swatter on cabbage moths. The ones that got away seem to know when I am near they should get vertical in a hurry.
