Swamps Otto bin grow

[Swamp403]

Last year on the mid nth coast nsw it was a very dry spring. It was a mammoth job just keeping plants alive let alone growing. Then because it was so dry the possums decided my plants tasted pretty good. This year I thought I'd try otto bins with drain holes about a foot or 30cm up from the bottom drill some drain holes

Their great no cages needed so u can put them almost anywhere. No termites, wallabies, so far no bloody possums

The best thing is they grow without to much work once u put the good dirt in.

I get re-earth it's a compost made locally get it by the mtr $70 for 2 mtrs then add some rock minerals chook poo with blood & bone & kelp then when I water them just add a little fish emulsion

Happy growing & have a Merry Xmas.

Yer it's a 200ltr bin smokeditup. But I've got another 100ltr I think the smaller ones r the go not so much soil to carry the plant is smaller so far but that's because I've had the problem of plants going into bud early.

I'll keep updates on how their going, but that ones going to be a boomer it's cheese X sour deisel

So what you fill it with soil then use it as a grow pot..and then use the lid to cover it at night? haha love it!

[Swamp403]

No Mr Trimbole. I've taken the lids off them to colourful I've sprayed the bins patchy black (camouflage) plant r to big anyway. Love ur name I use to buy Bobs pot $250 a lb. All the best.
