Hi all. I've been growing in plastic storage containers. From the size of 4 inch pots to 2.5 gallon containers. I don't want the containers to get too big, I still need to carry them around.

So to prepare a container I put a one inch layer of pumice. To that I add a layer of fresh chicken manure. Then I top with potting soil and put the plants or seeds in. I water till the soil looks wet and then I allow the soil to dry out.

The reason I like this method of growing in soil is because there is no water drainage mess. Besides everytime you water with drainage holes your nutes are being flushed out too.
