Container Gardening, Done Right | Off Grid Centrally Irrigated GroBuckets
The video that made me want to get into video! We get a lot of questions about our container gardening solution, as it's definitely uncommon, so hopefully this video does it justice. We grow well over a couple hundred plants in containers every year and this is how we do it.
Some people will likely find it interesting how we've scaled container gardening to a fairly large scale. We currently operate over 100 containers across our garden and it's essential in our cold climate gardening efforts. The biggest reason we use containers is to promote warmer soils and faster soil warmup times, a vital benefit when growing those warmer climate crops.
We grow a diverse set of plants in containers currently. All our warm weather stuff, including tomatoes, peppers, basil, corn and cucumbers see the biggest benefits, whether grown in the greenhouse or outdoors. We also grow beans, all of our herbs, production flowers (e.g. calendula) and usually at least one annual experiment every year. (This year's experiment is morenga!)
We were one of the first people in the world to centrally irrigate GroBuckets and we've kind of pioneered the path. Lots of people read our guide on the topic. So if you want more technical details and a build guide, you'll find it here:

As always, you can find tons of cold climate gardening information, focusing on USDA zones 1 through 4 here:
