It’s time to start planting the seedlings in the containers. I have EarthBoxes and Wicking Tubs planted with tomatoes and peppers. Spring time is here and it’s gardening season. Even if you’re a first time gardener, container gardening is easy enough that it’s really hard to make a mistake.

Epsom salt is also good for keeping your nitrogen salts low in container gardens. It bonds with the salts and helps neutralize them.
I love your channel, I'll do containers next spring, gog willing. I am having a garden for the first time in 10 yrs. I'm a firm believer in heirloom tomatoes. I have brandywine, purple Cherokee, yellow tiger stripe and black Russian. If you want an awesome melon, try French Charmel.
This is my first spring using wicking tubs. I got a little over zealous this year and planted 18 tomato plants along with all my other veggies, I'm sure I'll be begging people to take them. The big running joke at church is finding sacks of squash in your car when you get ready to leave. You learn real quickly to lock your doors! Love your channel!
Try the late Larry hall's 2 liter pop bottle wicking system
Another name for the melon is Charentais
Google, Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds one of the best heirloom companies
I am just getting started with my Earthboxes. I added one lb 8-8-8 garden fertilizer and then one lb dolomite per Earthbox instructions.
The dolomite contains calcium and magnesium. Did you run into an issue with dolomite at some point and need to switch to gypsum and epsom salt? Thanks
I do like the taping tool.
Who is Mr. Leon?
I was wondering if you could use the grow bags in the wicking tubes instead of the landscape cloth?
Wish you would video from bottom to top preparation…like watching your videos
Thank you! Do you. Purchase the covers every year or do you reuse them? I’m going to go look at your fencing for these containers because I’m using one earth box and multiple wicking tubs this year. Last year I used the woven ground cover to conquer weeds (success!). Now I can really enjoy gardening and not spend my summer dreading it. I’m trying to figure out the trellising for all this. I’m off the watch more of your videos!!
I think this is one of the most helpful videos you have made. Thank you for all of the information. Is there any reason you do not do plastic covers (like each box cover) over some of your wicking tubs? For example: over a larger tomato plant?

Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍
I have tomatoes in wicking tubs and had put in 2T epsom salt and fingered in 1/2 Cup of pelletized gypsum at planting time, Some of the tomatoes that are growing are having blossom end rot. (Maybe it's normal to have SOME) I've kept the tubs watered, so not sure why, should I sprinkle in another 1/4 or 1/2 Cup across the top and water that in or can you put too much of that in? Any other ideas?
Thank you for all this great information!! I have a few of the Earthboxes, which I love. You mentioned about growing squash. I tried yellow squash and zucchini this summer and had quite a challenge with them. Beautiful plants, lots of blooms, had baby squash but then they never full developed before rotting or just did not grow any more. Trying to learn how to grow squash in these boxes before next spring! Thank you again!
Yes. The covers are a smart idea however at $1.99 a cover for one season is costly. (Well it is for us because we have 45 boxes).
