Sub irrigated planter I built using some examples found here on youtube. This video represents the last three I built, using lessons learned from my first one. I’m currently growing yellow squash, zucchini squash, cucumbers, and have plans for more.

Preparing Garden & Planting Squash, Bell Pepper and Some Tomato Plants This video spans 3 days. First day we cut the garden up. Didn’t do anything else to it because it was still a little wet.

HEIRLOOM NON-GMO only…..www.heirloomseeds.com almost forgot….grow some to save seeds….so you need this book and you will never need to buy seeds again……’Seed to Seed: Seed …
