Creative Ideas For An Upcycled Container Vegetable Garden
How to grow a vegetable garden anywhere, using raised upcycled containers!
Tools:
- half moon edger to cut bed shape
Supplies:
- various containers to plant inside: wheelbarrow, tubs, buckets, rings, DIY planter box, etc.
- good quality raised garden bed soil by bulk
- healthy starter plants
- Bamboo garden stakes
- Quality watering wand
- Retractable watering hose (you will LOVE this!!)
Instructions:
- Lay a rope in the designed shape of your desired garden bed.
- Using a half moon edger, cut the bed shape out, removing the turf.
- Position the raised planters where desired, working around what's already nearby (such as my hydrangea bush). Leave some area for standing.
- Build a DIY planter box if desired like I did for the tomatoes and line the inside with branches for drainage and bulk.
- Add some stepping stones for standing areas if desired.
- Prepare planters by drilling through the bottoms to create drainage holes. Cover holes with rocks.
- Fill the containers with quality soil and spread soil (or mulch) around containers as well.
- Plant the containers, then water really well.
- Check daily for watering, weeding, and pinching requirements for the best bang for your efforts! Feed every so often if needed.
