Organic Container Gardening

[Guest guest]

Does anyone do any organinc container gradening? If I remember right some of you

had mentioned having fruit trees also. Are these in a container? What are the

names of your trees? will you share your organic recipe for feeding the potted

plants. Maybe some recipes for insecticide too, that is safe to eat.

 

Right now I have two small window box type containers on my apartment patio. One

has one tomatoe plant which is bearing three tomatoes right now but has blooms

for about 5 more. I also have some rosemary growing. In the other box I have

strawberry plants. these plants seem to have some tiny little bugs like in the

dirt and even on the leaves. I have sprayed both the dirt and the leaves lightly

with a light soapy water mix but this seems to last only a short time keeping

the bugs away...

 

I know this is a raw food board but hey raw food entails growing it too right?

If you know of any sites that You especially like or other organic type boards

that are very informative please feel free to pass this on to me. I am sure also

there are others out there who could benefit.

 

I only tried my hand at these small things to see if I would fare as a gardener

and so far.. as long as my bird friends and squirrel freinds leave them along..

I have done pretty well. Been thinking of branching out to something larger like

amybe a fruit tree. Maybe a whiskey barrell of lettuce or something...trying to

stay rather light in what I put on my patio.. don't know how much weight it will

hold..

 

Off to see if I can find something on my own now but please share if you have

info. Write personally to me if you feel it should not be on the list.. Thanks

P.S. I know that whatever you may suggest needs to be checked on as prosperous

or hardy enough for my zone.. I am in zone 8.
