Re: Garbage Cans
I done a great deal of container gardening.. and I agree with the one poster who recommended a shallower, but larger pot. But I bet it will do fine in a standard large pot.. but the trash can is likely not a good choice.. IMO.
Whatever you choose.. put a lot of composted soil in it.. since your going to limit it's reach, you better compensate by increasing the density of the nutrition available to it. It will need a LOT more water than an in ground will.. leaving some room at the top of the pot for some sphagnum mulch would help retain some moisture.. but you're still gonna be watering far more than you want to.. good luck with it !!
