All these videos about various ways to do container gardening neglect to mention one very important thing. A great many of those plastic containers which are recommended as grow pots will crumble in a couple of years from the sun shining directly on them.

Seems like an awful lot of money and effort expended for such a short life of those containers.

Seems like an awful lot of money and effort expended for such a short life of those containers.

I was going to say the same exact thing. I did it a couple of times with kiddie pools and it lasted one year and was already falling apart. The problem here is the intense environment. I have done better with raised beds painted white with lots of organic matter to hold the moisture in. That seems to work best. Oh, I would use fence boards.

 

[Martinhouse]

Even the plastic flower pots one can buy in the store get brittle and crack after a while. Also those cheap little box planters. On the other hand, actual nursery pots seem to last forever. I like the 3-gallon size and use a cheapo WM oil change pan as the "saucer" under them for watering and to catch any dirt that dribbles out the holes at the bottoms of them. And those troughs that Lowe's sells to mix up ready-mix concrete will hold 6 of the 3-gallon nursery pots and makes a dandy watering saucer for them. I always let all the water disappear in any suacers before watering again, so I don't have mosquitoes growing in them. And they need to be dumped if there's a lot of rain and the water remains in them for more than four or five days.

I haven't had any trouble with the white barrels deteriorating., both 55 gallon and 30 gallon. Sometimes they deform but I've got dozens of the half-barrel containers by now and only two have split down a ways right at the side seams. Oh, some of the barrels are blue, and they last just fine, too.

The five-gallon pails and lids one can get in the paint department at Walmart get brittle in just a year or two, also. I learned the hard way not to set a gallon jug of water on the top of one of those buckets I was storing water in. The lid just cracked and caved right in.

When I planted things in kiddy pools, I mulched heavily with straw and also put the straw to the height of the pools around the outside of them. The rims still cracked after one summer in the sun. If I ever have to use them again. I will be covering the entire rims with duct tape or maybe finding a thick paint that will stick to the plastic of the pools.

I gave up our big garden at the farm to my Daughter and her sons. I still grow a small garden, one raised bed and several pots/tubs/etc. at our house for our youngest grandkids to help them learn and appreciate growing your own food.

The rubber maid work well. Make sure you try to get BPH free. Be sure to put appropriate drain holes and I use the lid under them as well. I refresh the soil with my own compost and will put the lids back on them for the winter.

I use some around the place (about a dozen) and getting two crops out of them for some things using succession planting. This year did Green Beans, Carrots, did three in sweet corn of which the squirrels got two before I was going to pick them (all in one early morning). Also use for onions. Even have two of fingerling potatoes. Made some this year for Moon and Stars water melons in some spare pots. Have to water and fertilize the heck out of them (hot weather 2 gal of water per day, fertilize every third day) but here is the picture of one of them-


Here is the last sweet corn tub (new hybrid I'm trying this year specially for containers)



Here's one of the carrots



For someone without much space, they work ok. Just think small raised bed.

Yep, I am in Australia but plastic bins are mainly made in China in the hardware shops. The better quality made boxes are UV protected to a good level. I have plastic boxes all around the place exposed to the sun and only the cheap units have become brittle after 3 year of exposure.

I have bought 17 more small plastic boxes for growing Azolla a floating plant this last week. I have a lot already and have had them in operation for two years or more with no problems.

I will buy some more boxes this week to set up for herbs like the ones in mention in the main article above. However I will pay the extra for those listed with UV protection. I will have about a six inch water reserve at the bottom of the bins however.

My big concern about growing food plants in containers is that said containers are safe for food (not leaching anything). Ideally everything should be HDPE (is that recycle code 5?) or whatever it is the food containers at the stores are made of. I AM growing some potatoes in fabric bags this summer, but that's a bit of a push for me. (Can dye/colorant leach out of the fabric?)

The potatoes are something of an experiment this summer, with some being grown in a raised bed, some being grown in two fabric pots which I have to hand water. Since I don't trust water from the hose/sprayer when it comes to food, that means hauling water from the house. That got old some weeks ago, and I confess that I haven't always done it every day. (Thankfully at least one of the two fabric bags looks ready to harvest, and the other one should be very soon.)

 

[China Connection]

At the moment we all have different abilities to get ready for economic collapse around the world. I have bought what is supposed to be safe containers to grow stuff in. However if one is short on money then it is much better to at least buy containers of just about any description if needed than to starve to death.

From what I can make out things are going to get really bad at the end of this month, many however are already without work or money. I think high inflation will start in September. Food will get very expensive very quickly. This is when having a garden will pay off.

One needs quite a large garden to grow enough to survive on. Not many are living on farms. Not many have good soil on hand to use for crops.

 

[dioptase]

Well, certainly we aren't on a farm, and while we have a bit of land (1 acre), much of that is unusable for varying reasons (shade, slope, tree root infestation, hardscape) and what is left is subject to gophers and other critters. It has been an ongoing battle with the critters here, forcing me to cage up most of the garden.

The potatoes were something of an experiment, to give me a leg up the learning curve if it came to actually having to grow them for food.

Protein is of some concern, so prep $ is going towards that. (Sorry, no, no maggots for me unless it's literally that or starve.)

In one of the first videos I ever watched from this channel, she addressed which numbers to look for on the bottom of the tub and also which to avoid...that was probably a year or more ago. In the case of SHTF, it's better to have something than nothing...I'd use whatever I had until I could do better.

In addition to my regular garden, I have vegetables growing in an extra deep old wheelbarrow I bought years ago for my flower garden...DH confiscated and rehabbed it, getting several years of use out of it before I reclaimed it. I'll roll it right into my hoop house when the time comes. I also have a huge old enamel canner, biggest I've ever seen, that had a few tiny holes in the bottom and is now growing veggies just to name a few. I deal in a little vintage junk so am always dragging something home that will give my garden that whimsical look I love but it has to serve a purpose. That stuff can be had cheap at yard sales, etc.
