[QUOTE="Mike_60, post: 2088519, member: 16957"] I’ve raised gardens many years in the past but haven’t done much for the last few seasons since we’ve moved to our present home. It seems here that I just can’t keep the deer and grass out of the garden spot. There are usually eight doe that like to bed down at night where I wanted to have my garden (they loved the midnight snacks I provided) but I don’t have the heart to seriously attempt to run them off. This last year I tried building a couple dozen self-watering containers (5 gal bucket within a bucket idea I seen on the web) and growing the crop in an enclosed dog run, which has a concrete pad with a 6’ chain link fence around it. It seemed to be going pretty well at first, with everything sprouting up and growing like crazy until that hail storm we had in the early spring. Everything was beat down hard and torn up and never really recovered. On top of that, I don’t think I had a great soil mix to begin with, so that is something for me to work on next year. Are you seriously planning container gardening? Have you done containers in the past? What type of soil mix did you use or are planning on using? [/QUOTE]
