What's all the other stuff sprouting? Weeds? ;-)
Looking good... I just finished 3 of Ray's Earthtainers. I have Brandywine, Parks Whopper, Red Lightning, Pennsylvania Pink, Black Russian and Green Zebra in those 3. I'll see if I can get some pics up later. |

My Dad's ETs from last year had some whopper weeds growing in them! I had some chamomile that was getting pretty huge in one of mine that I still need to clean out- I'm SO behind this year!

Wargamer, that's called a living mulch. :-)

Hey Earl,
I've spent the entire day on my knees sanding the dumb deck with a 3 inch belt sander, so will post some SWC photos for you tomorrow. Anyway....I've found some new muscles tonight, so the exercise was a good thing! Raybo |

GHurt,
Your 'Tainer with the Husky looks only half full. The roots would be a lot happier (more productive) in a fully loaded system. Raybo |

Raybo,,
That's a container with the other half of the left over from cutting the bottom piece inside the container. It actually has more inside it then the other. |

GHurt,
Then you have found another "benefit" of putting the unused section within the main container. Looks like you could add another 3 inches of Potting Mix for the plants to grow in, which they would love. Raybo |

Sugar snap peas in a round SWC. Pea plants were transplanted on 3-30-10. They should start flowering soon.
