[QUOTE="ga. prime, post: 644761, member: 588"] Jo, the prison over in Telfair Co. mulches all the plant material placed roadside for disposal pickup in McRae and Helena and mixes it with the organic material waste from their cafeteria and composts it. It is then piled over in Helena for any one to pickup for free. That's what I fill tubs and troughs with. It tests very well on ph and very high in all the essential nutrients except N and drains very well. Of course the tubs need to have holes in the bottom. Sometimes I'll fill the top 3 inches or so with metromix or some other sterile growing medium to keep from having to pull out weeds. The easiest way to water is to turn the hose on and lay in the tub and just let the water get two three inches deep then turn it off. Needs watering like that in summer less than twice a week. Winter watering maybe once every two weeks depending on rain. [/QUOTE]
