if your using a bucket i wouldnt put gravel to drain. buckets dry up soil sooooo fast. theres a wicking method where you fill about 6 or 8 inches of a bucket with cotton then put water in it, then you place your plant bucket in so when your not there the soil still gets water. search a little on this site to find the exact details cause i cant remember exactly how its done. peace
rhino44 Reviewed by rhino44 on . First time. Help needed. I dont expect much obviously for a first time especialy since im using bagseed but i just want to throw an attempt for shits and giggles(Best phrase EVER) But i was planing on germinating and then using african violet soil mixed with dirt to start growing outside. I expect nothing but want to give a half assed attempt. I live right next to the rail road tracks but the tracks are in the middle of a valley that is about 20-30 feet up but sloped at a 35-40 degree angle. I can get light and wind on Rating: 5
