[URL="http://www.gardeners.com/Flexible-Garden-Grids/38-773,default,pd.html?start=2&q=flexible%20grid"]http://www.gardeners.com/Flexible-Garden-Grids/38-773,default,pd.html?start=2&q=flexible%20grid[/URL] You are talking about these grids correct? You shouldn't have any problem with buying those costing $25.00 each if you order 2 packs of them. I have something else I want to check before you order, hold on please. Ivy, I am sending a PM sending one more PM One more thing, sorry, I think in portions so it just happens that I post alot, lol. I would go ahead and drill at least three or four holes in the rim of your buckets to zip tie the grids to your bucket. It will keep the grids straight up and stable. There is nothing better in my opinion for a 5 gallon bucket if you need to have things look nice in your garden and have small spaces to garden. |
Thanks so much rockporter! Those are the exact gids.. What a great site....You mentioned that it would take about 1 month to recieve them...If I ordered from the original site would they get here any faster? ( cause i needed them like yesterday, my mators are screaming "suppot me" lol)...For everything else on my wish list> woohoo!lol....I'll try to hold off till I hear from you
Great suggestion about tieing the grids to the bucket..I was also thinking of tieing the buckets to a couple of stakes in the ground= weather proof for the tall indeterminates. |

Let me know if you need help on that so you get the discount I told you of. If you don't do it right then it won't work. I don't know how long it would take to get them now but since it is spring it might take a while. They will come though, I promise you that. Yes, use more support if you have inderterminates in your bucket, I will post some photos of the extra support I just had to put in mine because I was given indeterminates but she swore they were a determinate tomato plant. Lotls of cutting back for me because I don't have the space or the ability to secure them to the ground. |
Thank you bunches Connie! (smile)

Your welcome Ivy and here is a pic of the supports I told you I had to get for the unexpected indeterminates I was given. They were supposed to be determinates and well surprise! Unfortunately I have had to cut them way back because I don't have the space for them and the fact they become real top heavy is a bad thing here too. I cannot sink anything into the ground here.
If you want to grow indeterminates in your buckets you will need to find a way to keep them upright. In the meantime I used some green 6' long posts I purchased at walmart to provide extra support in my grids. I zip tied them to the bottom of the grid as well as the top of the gird and this allows me to tie the long branches up for support. See the photo and here is the link for what I bought at Walmart. The link is for the 4' one but I bought the 6' one at the store and I didn't buy in bulk, they don't have that choice for Walmart for the 6'. Of course I am not sure what I would have done with 100 of them. I used three per bucket to allow for support and sometimes I think I could have used more. The 6' ones cost more than $2 each I think.

lol Connie, I may be Pming you later about that set up... ty[/QUOTE] LOL, Uh Huh, lol. that plant was about 5' wide and I had to cut way way back. I lost so much possible fruit from all the flower sets I had to cut off. The space you see that one 5 gallon bucket and one EB should be holding 4 five gallon buckets with determinate tomatoes in it. I now have my buckets spread all over the yard. I am not happy about the indeterminates for sure, if only I had the room for them I would be more than happy to grow them out year after year because they are doing really well after all. PM anytime. |
lolol Connie, ya know, I'm rethinking this whole determinate thing..I mean, canning aint so bad lol... I have 3 indeterminates on a 10 by 11 patio haha..But seriously, we're just going to have to figure out something..I want my indeterminates..... I've made a little hole in the bottom of my buckets and tied a string/stick under it and brought it up through the dirt.... I've been trying to talk hubby into just putting a nail in the overhang of wood/roof to stake it.. He's just not going for it lol
by the way what variety is that? |
