SWC convert

Jaysan · June 10, 2013

For the past 2 years I have been growing in 18 gallon containers with 511 mix and have been satisfied with the results.

This year I made 6 SWCs out of 18 gallon containers which seemed to end up being maybe 14 gallons of mix which is Ray's 321.

I must say I am impressed by how well they are doing, especially the Sweet Success cucumbers which have out grown a 7 foot tall trellis and are still going. I will get 3 cucumbers this week and who knows how many to come.
They drink lots of water too so it is a natural for an SWC.

I have some Karma peppers in both type containers and the SWC is definitely out growing the regular container.

I also have 2 Sun Gold and a Parks Whopper that are doing well.

I used Lilly Lilly Miller 10 10 10 in everything and it seems to be doing a great job.

This time next year I plan for all my containers to be SWCs.
