Then we put about 3-4 inches of garden soil into the buckets then added the potatoes in the blue bucket and a tomato pod in the white one, then more soil on top, about 2-3 inches:
Now the tomato pod said to just set it in the soil with the top out so that's why it looks like that, it is the miracle grow globe tomato seed pod
We then watered them as per instructions for the tomato pod and what I'd found online. For potatoes the soil needs to be moist but should leak through the bottom of the bucket so you know you've wet the soil to the bottom. Now I'm still clearly a novice at growing anything, if you read my first post, so what I say in this blog is made up of my own experience so far plus what information I've found. If you have tips you are more than welcome to share them with me!
Oh! And wouldn't you know it, right after mum and I fixed up our bucket garden it's now raining, I put them under the porch so hopefully they don't get more water then they need! Also I decided to use another 10 gallon bucket to catch the rain water, I've read that rain water is the best for plants because it doesn't have the chemicals in it (well I suppose it depends on where you live, I'm in a small town). We placed them upon a cinder block to let the drainage holes do their thing. That is my starting bucket garden journey! Also my pictures are poop, sorry, I could have worked on them in my photoshop editor but I was too lazy. =D
