I’ve never had any substantial success in container gardening for food that will keep you alive. Herbs yes. But try to stay alive with container gardening you are kidding yourself.
grow your herbs, and pretty flowers.
You need substantial fertile earth, and irrigation into the soil to grow crops to survive.
Got a potted plant? You must be near a Whole Foods store to make you complete.

I’ve used a lot of containers for herbs over the years from baskets to porch boxes to large clay pots. I think the key, as with herb beds, is matching the plants that have the same needs and to be realistic about the size of the plants

You should stop trying to talk like a person from Japan. You lack the education to carry it off. First, they are much better at writing English that you are. They also were the people to show the world how to garden in small areas.

I would just water everyday..lining the basket with sheet moss first would really help to hold in moisture, that’s what I would do.

Not necessarily. …
Not necessarily. Apparently the polymers DO break down into acrlyimide, which is a known carginogen and neurotoxin, especially in the presence of UV, but there’s no evidence to show that acrylimide is taken up by the root system- to the contrary, in fact. I guess it’s all about informed decision-making.

You should NEVER use Soil Moist in containers with vegetables, herbs or ANYTHING you are going to eat. Those crystals contain NEUROTOXINS!!!

Garden expert, Ron …
Garden expert, Ron Wilson, from whom I first learned the now famous “diaper liner” method, said the polymers in the diapers are a different than what’s in the commercial polymers like “Soil Moist”. Diaper polymers don’t last as long. Ron agrees that if the diapers are scented then don’t use them. It might be cheaper to go the Soil Moist route. And hey, it’s your choice: cloth rags as someone suggested, commercial polymers, etc. Or you can always do what our folks did: water regularly! ~Rita

The diaper will last the whole season - it takes up water and then releases it back into the soil when needed.

There all kinds of problems linked with our societies over use of plastic. Yeah, it’s convenient, but not so good for us long term.

I find container pots REALLY expensive. Baskets are a good idea, but the plastic????? I don’t know?

thanks for the nice idea. is it true I can use diapers in between the soil? do I have to change it from time to time?

instead of laying plastic as lining below the soil, why not put rag cloth? that’s more earth friendly than plastic ( plastic has iv in them)

Diapers in the soil? Does no one see the risk of those polymers and plastics within the diaper breaking down and leeching into the soil and then into the herbs. Diapers are made of horrible complex chemicals who whats to introduce them knowingly into their diet. Crazy.

I need to get me some Soil Moist. I would always have a tough time with basil in a pot because it would need more water than other plants.

Eh, the Illuminati …
Eh, the Illuminati is run by reptilian kin known throughout history as Jinn, Naga, Kappa, Demons, Dragons, Dracul, Al Gore, Windsors, Rothschilds etc. that rule the inner circles of Freemasonry and do foul sex&torture rituals. They’ll probably release a bird flu virus via vaccines(or by drones), go to internet 2, start WW3 w/China, have a staged alien invasion(2010) to get a microchipped pop/world gov but they will fail!
