importance of mulch...

S...I try to use 15 gallon nursery pots or larger. Keep in mind....they are not really 15 gallon (liquid) sized. I suppose a determinate tomato would grow in a 5 gallon bucket (I would not use a 5 gal nursery pot). Last week I actually painted my nursery pots flat white with a roller. It was fast and cheap. Years ago I remember a car salesman taking me through the lot and having me put my hand on the hoods of different colored cars. Wow! What a difference in temperatures from white to black. Very impressive.
