I have so many questions. I love to garden and always have some kind of plants growing. This year however I'm trying something new.....container garening. We moved into an apartment and we don't have anywhere to plant anything. Needless to say I built a few raised mobile containers and bought toy tubs as well as using some storage totes. I have invested in an insane amount of bags of topsoil, manure, potting soil, garden soil, and peat Moss which I've used to fill them all with. I also have bought a few different kinds of fertilizer as well as a ph and soil tester and a soil test kit. I have started some plants indoors in a small greenhouse and invested in a heat lamp and a couple grow lights. I have also ordered some things from gurney and burpees and in fact some of my orders have already started arriving. My plant list includes the following (seeds I started indoors and are all now 6 inches tall).....3 big boy tomato .....6 in total of 2 kinds of peppers which are sweet baNana and a bell pepper color
mix.....2 kinds of onion, red candy and walla walla sweet......2 kinds of carrots (not planted yet), little fingers and a Caracas hybrid both of which don't get larger than about 3 inches long.....6 broccoli which I have planted outside already in 2 different tubs...... 3 stonehead cabbage.....3 red ball brussell sprouts......3 sweet n early cantaloupe....4 big n tastey seedless watermelon......4 pickling bush pickle hybrid cucumber.....early contender bush beans (not yet planted) .....AND ARRIVING IN 1YEAR BARE ROOTS OR PLANTS ARE ......2 DWARF TOHATSU BLUEBERRY PLANTS.....10 WHOPPER JUNEBEARING STRAWBERRY ROOTS.....10 MARA DES BOISE EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY ROOTS....1 25 TRIBUTE STRAWBERRY BARE ROOTS.....1 ALPINE FRAGILE STRAWBERRY PLANT ....1 CELESTE FIG TREE .....1 HERITAGE RASPBERRY PLANT.....5 JOAN J RASPBERRY BARE ROOTS......5 TRIPLE CROWN BLACKBERRY BARE ROOTS......and 2 kinds of asparagus I took to my girlfriends house and planted all 20 roots.
LOL.....SO MY QUESTION IS......WHAT SIZE CONTAINERS DO THEY ALL NEED AND HOW MANY CAN BE PLANTED TOGETHER AND WITH WHAT ETC. ATTACHED IS A LIST OF THE CONTAINER SIZES I HAVE EVER TO USE. I WILL ALSO SEND A PICTURE OF THE AREA I'M WORKING WITH.
I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME. I have donever my homework and looked all this up but most are not specific to my needs and or say conflicting things.
Thank you,
Lisa
