That is a HUGE factor for us. What kind of soil did you use? I went with straight compost. Had good luck with bagged organic soil too. not so great of luck with a planting mix with half compost and half dirt. hope your plants grow! and don't worry, everything is off to a slow start this year given all the crazy weather we have been having.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263795936437012313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733417645352174190.post-41674569488980242612010-07-15T11:42:42.665-07:002010-07-15T11:42:42.665-07:00We recently moved and I no longer have the room I ...We recently moved and I no longer have the room I used to for gardening (sad face). I read several books on gardening in small spaces. I decided to try out container gardening with hydroponics as well. I recycled tubs from our move and set them up as you did. So far I have mixed results but its early...right. I am looking forward to seeing how you do with yours. Good luck and here's wishing you a bountiful harvest!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711169722488606559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5733417645352174190.post-24675394728652921542010-07-06T22:13:06.458-07:002010-07-06T22:13:06.458-07:00I would be happy to contribute!
