[QUOTE="GMB54, post: 4905372, member: 15365"] If containers are a problem, its most likely the growing media you are using. I have grown a burr gherkin in a pot on the deck you see. It covered the entire upper deck by August and it was only a 3gal pot Try ProMix BRK with aged pine bark fines or mix up your own. Stuff drains like mad and wont compact. Roughly 40% coco or peat, 40% aged pine fines and 20% good compost. Some rice hulls are good too. If you use coco its gunna probably need a good shot of calcium after a good rinse. Peat will need some calcium carbonate to raise the pH. [/QUOTE]
