Things We Went To Go Get To Start Seeds. An Awesome Thing To Use For A "Container" Garden.

We had a good day today. We went out and got some stuff to put together and are getting ready to start our seeds. I was a good day but a long day as I did some work on the small house this morning and this afternoon we went to Lowes to pick up some potting soil, topsoil and also some cow manure. We got what the van would haul as I had to make some other stops, as always Wal-Mart and the Dollar Tree and their parking lot is so small it would have been fun going in there with the trailer.

This is what we put in the van today. It was 6 bags of topsoil and 6 bags of potting soil and 8 bags of cow manure. That was all in the back and the groceries went in the front. We found another brand of the products that are cheaper than the big name products and are really quite the same. The company is based in Georgia and it is not really local to us but it was from our state. we try to purchase products that come from our state and really love when they are local to us. Black Kow is the name just about everyone knows for cow manure and it is a great product, cow manure is cow manure right, so we are using this brand it is the same as Black Kow according to the packaging but it is about $2.50 dollars cheaper per bag and is the same size as Block Kow. It is Hood Landscaping. The same with the topsoil and the potting soil.

We are going to try them out and see if they work and what the outcome will be. I told you in the last post we would be doing something kinda out of the box on some of our planting containers. Here is what we decided to use for planting our potatoes, onions, and garlic in.

We came across these off of Craigslist and we needed one for the small house as you know. So we needed just one but one was $100.00 or we could get 4 for the same $100.00 so we have 3 left. We put them on Craigslist to try and sell but never got and hits so we will repurpose and reuse them for something we need. They are already sloped for drainage of water going to the drain and we will use a pallet to keep them off the ground. I will put some landscaping fabric in the bottom so the soil does not wash out of the drain with the water. Brace the back up with something to keep them from rolling backward. Just an idea for you and I will let you know how they work out in a future post. As always have a great night/day, whatever it is in your neck of the woods. Thanks for spending a little of your time reading our posts.
