Could I use trashcans as composters;


I am preparing to compost plants I've planted for summer + trimmings.Therefore, I was thinking if I could use trashcans/trashbins as composters.I was thinking to use ones that fit 10-15litters of stuff.​Is this the way to go?

Help with potatoes please.

Hi there! Very amateur gardener here looking for some advice about potatoes.I planted some main crop potatoes in late May. The plants seem to have grown really well through the summer.

Looking for tips on automated terrace watering with no access to water (but access to electricity)

Hi all, apologies for the newbie question. I'm starting a small garden on my terrace, and have no access to water there (but access to electricity). I'm thinking of ways to set up an automated watering system based on a water tank/bucket that I would fill regularly. This Aquabloom system from Gardena looks like it could do the job. Anyone has experience with it? Any tips or advice? https://ift.tt/ZGcvbnq Thanks!!https://ift.tt/sLMRVQ6
