Containers can be problematic, due to moisture buildup. We do beds of mulch.

There is nothing wrong with it, its just that we do not have much dirt. We are on a gravel pad, and have trucked in 10 yards of soil so far. We need about 50 more, so meanwhile, as we bring in more as we have the money, we are utilizing mulch. We have almost zero pest issues (Alaska) so leaf...

http://www.richsoil.com/hugelkultur/ No more burn piles for us. Since we need to build our soil for lack of it to begin with, this is a method we are adding in this summer.

Oh dear, if I had to grow in buckets, we would be sunk when it came to time to store taters for the year. Wonder how many buckets I would need?

I'd go that route, except we are planting 1,000 onion seeds :th Planting enough for two households for a year.

:lol: We drink milk straight from the farm!

Now I am curious why you can't figure out what I was looking for! I stated it clearly in the post :lol:

I tried to order from Seeds of Change and they said none in stock and could not give a date of when they would have them. No idea why, and no answer on the querie I sent them :idunno We ended up ordering a different kind. Went with Stuttgarters from Bakers Creek. Now I have to see if our...

We grow ours in piled up leaf mulch, old hay and straw.

I am trying to get a hold of at least 1,000 seeds of Red Wethersfield onion, as they grow well in Alaska. Trouble is, I can't find a supplier right now. I need to get the seeds started in about 2 weeks if we are going to get onions this year. I have already queried Seeds of Change, and I have...
