He should give you 5# of shelled pecans to make this right, it has basically ruined Christmas forever for me

What do y'all use for your soils? I was gardening using 5 gallon buckets for a few years but didn't set anything up this past year. In the 5 gallon buckets, I was just using your typical store bought gardening soil (miracle gro or something similar). I was thinking about getting back to it this year but was thinking about setting up a galvanized trough/stock tank. Obviously that is going to take more soil than the 5 gallon buckets, so I was curious to see what y'all used.

if you save or gather some plastic bottles or milk jugs you can cut the amount of soil needed by half or better, 2-3 liter bottles work best
place the bottles in the bottom of the trough then fill with soil
I get soil and compost in bulk from a supplier then adjust accordingly. Much cheaper than bags.

the liter bottles are better with the screw on caps, sometimes when filling with soil you'll knock the cap off a jug and it will deflate under the pressure but they work in a pinch if you're careful

I got a little one. A gallon jug every week I think. I’ll start saving just in case. Otherwise, I was gonna do 1 single bed. I talked myself into individual pots lined up on a pad. Based on where they’re located, I can turn them towards the sun if needed. My plants last year only got afternoon sun and they’re almost 1 sided because of it. They were begging for more sun, where they were.

If you place the jugs with the cap facing up or down you'll have a better chance of not knocking the cap off if it was on it's side.
Don't know how many plants you're planting but if it's a few you can put them in a cart or wheelbarrow and move them around to the sun.

I’m starting 16 different species and based on the amount of seeds I have per species, some I only have 2-3 seeds. Others, like my pequins and the tepins, much more. I’ll probably start 50-75 plants total, keep as many as I can get away with and give the others to a few that I know want them. I have roughly a 9’X9’ slab underneath the hot tub that’s going away. I figure I can load that sucker up with 2gal pots for all the superiors and the fence line bed is getting all the pequin and tepin bushes I can stuff in there. This stuff revs me up like there’s no tomorrow! Poor Derek’s phone probably smokes at times when I have questions.

You used up all my data and I have to go to Walmart and buy more.

I threw that idea out there to the wife. She gave me one heck of a dirty look. I’m still not against drilling holes and filling it in

It’s perfect for a raised bed, tell her she’ll have the best conversation piece in the neighborhood

You’re starting 50-75 plants? Is this your first time?
