Cheaper than a pot

You need heels for this...

at least Eva thinks so.

I wanted to plant some potted herbs and peppers alongside our garden.

Pots are expensive... did you know that?

So instead of $60 pots which were beautiful but pricey,
I bought $5 plastic party tubs...

and made them work.

First I drilled drainage holes.

I thought five seemed like a good number, but no logic there beyond that.

Then leftover landscape fabric and loose rocks were added.

Our driveway is getting replaced in a few weeks,
so remnants of the crumble worked great for drainage.

Fill with dirt.

Liberally spread and share the wealth.

Mix well and pack it down.

We used half peat moss and half potting soil.

I used the peat moss because it was leftover from our raised bed refill.

Plant your plants.

These are basil seedings... grow strong little guys.

And rest.

Because it is hard work... gardening
especially in heels.
