[quote:F.B.Nyte:MV8xMDQ3OTkzXzE2NjIzMTIzX0M2OTdFODYx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 953682] If I take the Pepsi wrapper off, will I still be a red neck? . Do not remove the label as it protects the roots from light. Prolonged exposure to sunlight will cook the roots. Find some opaque tape and cover up any other areas that would be exposed. I too, thought about the label. My thought would be to remove the label and spray paint the outside before doing any of the cutting. Of course you could just leave the label on and paint over the whole thing... Also, the volume in a 2 litre bottle may be too small for a tomato plant (for those of you thinking of doing that). For a tomato plant, something with at least 1 gallon of volume would be needed. When I pot tomatoes, they seem to do best with a 5 gallon planter. Perfect size for a pepper plant though. [/quote] You may be right about the container size with relationship to tomatoes. I plant my tomatoes in large containers using the no dig garden method I mentioned. Also read where using Epsom salt is good for tomatoes and peppers. (It's not actually a salt.) Read here for some other growing tips. http://www.helpfulgardener.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8179 For the poster with the phobia about worms, consider this: http://whatcom.wsu.edu/ag/compost/redwormsedit.htm I don't do composting in a container but use the same principals in my garden. The worm castings make great fertilizer. Note that red worms are the best for this. [/quote]
