What you'll see in this video: growing zucchini and cherry tomatoes in containers (including which sizes work best); Meyer lem and caviar lime trees in large pots and what I've learned after years of growing them; Stock tanks a s no-dig alternative to in-ground raised beds; using white clover to fix nitrogen naturally in container soil; simple drip irrigation for a low-maintenance front yard vegetable garden for senior gardeners.
