Hi!
I have 5-7 Double Size 7-eleven slurpy plastic cups. I want to use them to grow perennials next year. Of course I will be puncturing holes at the bottom of each cup to allow water to flow freely down the earth.
The reason for my using the cups is that the area I will be planting flowers has a lot of deep-rooted roots – probably from weed?
So, I was thinking that weed can’t escape into the plastic pots and disturb flower growth. And the weeds are free to grow around the plastic containers (if they wish).
I hate weed. I’d love to suppress it especially when I want to grow something as colourful as flowers.
So, what do you think about me digging down to just a little less than the height of the plastic cup (all same size).
Of course, what to do with the extra dirt?
And yes, I’ll need to get the soil winter ready. This is a question for the next time.
