If you're just pl...Hi! Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />If you're just planting spinach and lettuce in buckets, no they don't need to be that deep. <br /><br />As for the soil, you don't need to replace it but you should add some fresh soil and fertilizer to it.<br /><br />And the onions, yes, we leave them in the garage all summer. Our garage doesn't get crazy hot though so if yours does, you may want to find an area in your house somewhere. If you have a basement, that would work best.<br /><br />Let me know if you have any other questions!lesleyzellershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240488081589861469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964660014718272744.post-76806952742501515072013-02-18T13:48:50.683-06:002013-02-18T13:48:50.683-06:00I just posted our soil mixture today - check it ou...I just posted our soil mixture today - check it out and let me know if you have any other questions.

Any bucket will do, as long as you make a few holes in the bottom for drainage. The landscaping buckets just tend to last longer in the sun so you don't have to replace them for a few years.lesleyzellershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240488081589861469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964660014718272744.post-53606711343223598862013-02-18T13:41:44.229-06:002013-02-18T13:41:44.229-06:00Thank you so much!

I...I found you through Ashley - Under the Sycamore. I am so excited I have been thinking about gardening, I did it years ago and want to try a small garden again, so yes I have a few questions. I love the idea of using plastic bins, if I am going to grow lettuce and spinach, do I need them to be that deep? Also I had a garden 15 years ago. I invested in good soil way back then, do I need to replace the soil or add to it, if so what do I add. Lastly, you say put the onions in a cool dry place, I live in Texas, which is similar to OK weather, do you leave them in the garage in the summer too?Laura at Ms. Smartie Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06953284758360960450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964660014718272744.post-4738379969033534922013-02-17T16:26:41.451-06:002013-02-17T16:26:41.451-06:00We live in Jenks & I have 3 large raised beds....We live in Jenks & I have 3 large raised beds.

I can't believe you really grew all that in Rubbermaid boxes. I am going to go buy some TONIGHT and maybe get some stuff going this weekend. Can I pay your husband to come start a garden for me?

The bucket idea is such smart thinking. We have VERY limited space so I'm going to copy cat that idea. Thanks again :)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01731564231994990826noreply@blogger.com
