I know this will take dialup a couple of minutes to load. However, I believe pictures help in understanding this author. Plus this took me serveral hours to put together, I hope dialups don't mind the wait.zelinda ask me to come up with some plans on how to make a Growth Container. We both thought it would be a good idea to post those plans.
First and foremost just about any type of container may be used. It can be of any size from a quart on up--which I will show you. The idea behind a Growth Container is to set up an environment that allow the
plant to uptake water and food as need. Without restriction.
The first set of pictures is a container another gardener made. The reason I'm not going to link you to that posting is his directions are somewhat confusing. He used a Rubbermaid container. His total cost was about $12.00-$15.00.
The items needed for this container are:
1-Rubbermaid storage container
4-1 quart plastic paint cups.
4-feet of 2 inch pvc pipe.
Now before we begin, some of this may not make sense at first. By the time you get to the last picture it will all come together. In this first picture you will note that he cut out the main part of the lid.
Both the outer edge and the cut out piece are important. So when you cut yours out take your time.
