    I’ve grown produce in containers for years…very successfully in another area, not here.

    I’ve not had success with most of the potting soils I’ve tried and would prefer using top soil.

    I need help with positioning and raising the pots, using fillers for the wasted bottom half of the pot and finding a good source of good soil or recommended potting soil without the moisture granules.

    I don’t use herbicides nor pesticides so the varieties have to be a hardy type and resistant.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the note, Sharon–I enjoyed “chatting” with you. ‘Hope your gardening experience improves this year! Let me know if I can be of more help.

    Thank you, Gayle!
    What do you think about using a driveway and layering pots in front of a rock wall to maximize crops and get the heat from the sun?
    The driveway slope might dictate shimming the pots to make them level for the second tier.
    I may be time and money ahead to have you take a look when you have time.
    I’d like to make an appointment…let me know your timeframe.
    Thanks!

    Hi Sharon!
    That sounds like a great way to grow some of the heat-lovers like tomatoes and peppers. My very first experience with tomatoes was growing them in big pots on an asphalt driveway–it worked quite well.

    What part of town do you live in? I’m co-teaching the Urban Vegetable Gardening classes on Saturdays and Tuesdays, but can be pretty flexible during the rest of the week, depending on where you are.

    If you’d rather not put personal info on the blog, go ahead and email me directly.

    I’m looking forward to meeting you in person,
    Thanks!
