Hi I am very new here and I work with disabled adults, so they can live independent. I found some tomato cages, so they bought soil and tomato
plants.
For one reason or another they can not garden in the ground, Also, they get $30.00 a week for food and spending. The budget is tight.
So, we went shopping for a container for the tomato
plants and the most inexpensive container we could find was a five gallon paint bucket for $4.99. With the bucket, soil and
plant, that came to about $10.00!
The container was placed on the small table in the back yard, which leaves very little room on the table for mixing more
plants.
Also, for drainage, in the bucket, we drilled about 6 small holes in the bottom and placed some rocks, and coffee filters on top of the rocks so we wouldn't loose any soil.
They are so excited !!!!!
One of my questions is, how can we grow zucchini?
Next week, I think we will go to the library to research. But, how do we do this project inexpensivly? And, how about corn?
Thank you for any information you can give me. This is very important and exciting to my clients and myself.
Thanks Jazzie
