This setup utilized 6 containers and 20 bags of potting soil place in front of a large south facing window
For drainage use a 1/4 inch drill in these locations
This rubbermaid container works ideal in these locations so the water does not pool at the bottom
The lid then works as a perfect drain pan
Fits perfectly underneath the planter
Each container held 3 1/3 bags of 1.5 cu ft of potting soil
The handles have holes so you want to be just below the handles
Planters now ready to be planted with seeds
Each planter now has approximately 11 to 12 inches depth of soil
Plant seeds in 3 rows 5 inches apart (20 inch width divided by 4 sections equals 5 inches)
