What latitude you at? Around here you can still expect some frost until mid late may. Bigger the better for pot size, 400 gallons should give you some big ass plants.
about 54 cu. ft. or about 6 yards or 1 pickup bed full
Thats a lot of dirt. Soooooo if you just planted in the ground would you dig-up 54cu. Ft. Hole to do the same thing ?
I wouldn't. Where I'm at, I can't stick a shovel in the ground more than three times before I hit a boulder. I like raised beds.
We have a lot of clay here, with lots of granite rock thrown in too. Tough digging.
Im putting my 4 legal in a pre-readied spot in my veggie garden. The others will go in home-made pots about 40 gals each. Chicken wire covered with landscape fabric ,as another member here showed us awhile back. I havent seen him here lately but he seemed like a helluva good grower and a nice fella.
Drainage ?
that's just our full season outdoor. We also run several light dep greenhouses.Holy jumpin flannigan cripes ! Now thats plantin right there !
