Also use a water mix that has chamomile tea in it once a month. The tea will not hurt the plants and may give them nutrients. But the main reason for this the tea has anti bacterial properties that stop mold and fungus. Also lightly rake toe soil once a month with a fork. Just enough to loosen the soil but not enough to hurt the plants roots. This will stop the soil from getting hard and it also allows the soil to breath and the plants get more air too! Thanks for stopping by, Denise Hi Susanne,

They grew most of their vegetable just doing this. They also grew plants on the windowsill. For the plants on the windowsill they had problems with the soil getting crusty. Do you have a solution for that? I had a friend who hug pots on the side of their patio wall. They grew most of their vegetable just doing this. They also grew plants on the windowsill.
