Quick Compost Container Gardening:   Today is Earth Day a great day to get outdoors and celebrate the glory of earth.  I decided to plant some seeds so I can have  a bountiful summer.  With my dogs a low garden is not my first choice because everything get trampled.  This year I am returning to my Raised beds.  Which have strawberries and lettuce in them since the like shallow soil.  Plus I am planting Roma tomatoes in containers and squash in my front yard.

The tomatoes I am starting from seed. I wanted to reuse and recycle some containers.

• I  did a quick blend of organic material to add to my soil  I bended apple core, egg shells, banana peel, coffee grounds, and coffee for the liquid- in my Nutria bullet.  Then added the mixture to my soil.

 

• It looks like this after blending.. like a disgusting dirt organic smoothie

• I am recycling an old coffee can.   I painted it a bright color, using a screw driver and hammer  knock some drainage holes.

• Painted the can  leaving the lid on top not wanting the paint to touch the soil

 

• Filled it with a reused broke butter dish for allow the excess water to drain.

• Planted the seeds.
• I then I put the remaining seeds into a egg carton to start the germination process to be transfer to containers later.

Here are some great ideas to use as planting container:

• old food containers
• old rubber boots
• tires
• old suitcases
• old pallets
• old globes from light fixtures
• wash basins
• milk jugs
