Winter Garden Reset: New Drums + Soil Reset Before Broccoli (Container Setup)

Описание: I’m getting my winter setup ready. This time I’m replacing my grow bags and old horizontal drums, cutting a few new drums down to a more practical size, and resetting the soil before anything goes in.

It’s not the exciting part of gardening, but it’s the part that makes the rest of the season easier. If the containers drain properly and the mix is in good shape, the plants get a better start and I’m not fixing problems mid-season.

In this video:

Cutting drums down to a size that suits how I grow

Drilling drainage holes (so roots can breathe and don’t drown)

Reusing old potting mix from previous crops

Resetting the mix with compost + perlite to improve structure and drainage

Filling the drums back up and getting ready for broccoli

Quick question: what do you find more annoying with container growing — keeping on top of watering, or resetting soil between crops?
