Cut the bottom out and it makes a great raised bed.
the baby swimming pool in the background is growing watermelons.
#Green bean seedlings full
Just makes sense to keep the bucket full of something to eat. So, when my pole beans (climbing my corn in the background of this picture) start producing, I like to start my next crop. My garden space is rather small, and we love beans. Then, I'll grow another fall crop of potatoes. just harvested them, and will grow bush beans in the same bucket all summer. I grew potatoes in the bucket in the early spring. The beans replenish the nutrients and clean up any bad bacteria the potatoes leave behind, so I can reuse the soil again and again. I plant potatoes in this same bucket, and the same soil. This bucket sits on my patio and gets full morning sun, filtered and scattered sun from nearby trees in the early afternoon, then about 2 hours of full evening sun.ġ. When I transplant, I tear or cut the plastic 6 pack and carefully remove the root ball and push the leaves through the holes in the bucket, then cover with soil, and water. I cut back on the water for a couple days, but still keep them damp. I don't start my seeds indoors though, I set them out on the deck in direct sun and keep them wet until I see some activity. You have to be very careful to not disturb the little roots when you transplant them, but they will work. The beans won't come out of the holes naturally if I plant them directly into the holes, so I start them in little 6 pack plastic starter pots that I save from buying annuals at the garden center. In the picture below you can see the bush bean plants popping out of the holes in the side of this large bucket. I start my bush beans in starter pots all the time. I know this is an old thread, but I felt compelled to write this.
