container growing pomegranates
Comments (1)I am growing 6 of them in containers in SOCAL. I have no harvested fruit because they are 2 years old on average. However I got 1 little fruit from my Angel Red the first year(the fruit was to small to be edible). Will tell you what my yields are this year on 2-3 year old plants. The poms are in medium to large containers and have a mix with pine bark, perlite, peat moss....See MoreHow Do You Grow Garlic in Container?
Comments (4)I grow garlic in 18" containers for clean seed. I grow the main crop in raised beds and the virus load gets too high and the crop starts to show signs of distress so this year I decided that I could probably clean up my seed stock by growing in completely clean soil. I have always grown in containers when I want to preserve a strain, but do not want to commit to a large bed of them. When I checked they yesterday I could see roots just busting out of the drain holes--they might be a bit more work as far as watering and feeding goes (takes more of each), but the results are really worth it to me....See MoreDo you have any container plantings with peat moss and sand?

Comments (1)While there are 'uses' for the used soil, I wouldn't reuse it AS a soil, in part because of the increased likelihood of it harboring disease organisms, but primarily because of it's advanced state of decay, more specifically because of the fact that it will be broken down into particles much finer than the the size of particles when it was originally pressed into service. This fine particle size reduces aeration and increases water retention in what odds say was already problematic or borderline so in those areas. If you can find pine bark in an appropriate size, you can make a soil, using your old soil as a smaller fraction of what you're making ..... and gain a substantial savings for your effort. More on that if you're interested. You can over-winter your eastern white cedars ('cedars' being a misnomer) in their pots, but in order to maintain top vitality it will almost certainly be necessary to repot in the spring - preferably into a medium that allows you to water appropriately. More on that too, if you have interest. BTW, how you should or can successfully over-winter them depends on where you live. Al...See MoreLaura LaRosa (7b)
