Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I'm encouraged by Nan's experience with the one gallon tomato
.
I've never really looked into Krakty so it's all pretty much new to me. I just ordered a supposedly good book on Kratky so maybe I'll be smarter next week
.
The regular raised bed veggie garden looks sort of hopeless so I've jumped in with both feet and have transplanted nearly all of my seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, leafy greens, herbs) into my Krakty bottles (to go into buckets or tubs later). Will get some beans and peas started today. I'm pretty sure the varieties I mentioned can be done in the 3.5 gallon bucket - at least to start. The indeterminates might be more problematic but I'll give it a try. It's been over a week since I started and everything looks good - no transplant shock and good root growth in the solution.
Anyway, I'll keep you all posted on my progress (if any
). I might do that over in the container forum.
Anne
