I'd like to try growing a few bulbls in buckets, particularly marginally hardy varieties, inside an unheated 3 seasons porch. December temps are predicted to be far below normal. What potting medium did you use in the buckets? Did you add any special fertilizers? It will be a challenge to keep the soil moist when I am not there to monitor, but worth a try.


A few years I gave garlic buckets a try inside the cabin in a cooler dark room. Results were abscent! Maybe they were kept too wet to overcome lack of attention.
