Name: david sevitt
jerusalem israel
i sowed a few weeks ago 3 sweet corns in a 5 litre bucket.
no they look not bad ....10 centimetres high.
i have a bad feeling transplanting them soon.
so i thought of an idea from hydroponics.......cut (or grooves on the side of the bucket) or the whole base of the bucket and put the bucket in a bigger container.
if the idea sounds logical(enlargening the soil capacity for the future roots)
whats better giving it a deeper container or wider container?
for sure wider and deeper is ideal
the idea came from the fact that on the package of seeds its writen" sow in the place where it should grow"
some i sowed directly into a (3)bucket and some i transfered from a shalower container and they did not like there new house.
maybe because their first home was a nursery.?
