Nice one! They can all survive in containers. I did same beginning of the year. I haven't bought ugu, water outside since.

What the plants really need are constant water supply.

You can get jerry cans (20 litres or so). Cut them through vertically close to the top.

You can get soil from anyone into gardening and fill the jerry cans up.

Though I have little ground which I planted okro and green (efo) but majority of my vegetables are planted in the jerry cans.

I am based in Ile Ife and would be available to assist if you are based same place.

Good day house,
I want to start a home vegetable garden, in pots/containers (custard buckets) because my compound doesnt have space and is cemented. I dont know which vegetables will survive in pots.

Please kindly suggest vegetables I can plant (,and how i can plant them and any extra effort I need to help them grow eg fertilizers or manure/compost)

My location is Osun state (so you can factor in the weather/environment).

Thank you.


PS: I am interested in Tomato, Pepper, Mint leave (Efirin), Okro, Ugu, Lemon-grass

Hello,

You could plant Ugu and, indeed, any vegetables in buckets and sacks and they will do well (particularly for subsistence purposes)
Personally, I like being organic, so I will advise you go for manure and good loamy soil.

In the case of using plastic containers such as plastics, ensure they are aerated - this could be done by perforating the containers.

If you are using sacks, perforation may not be necessary, except the sack is laminated, in which case, you then have to perforate.

For the weather, I reside in Ilorin, which is just about 2 hrs to Osogbo (Osun). They have similar weather, but Osun weather is finer and so your vegs should do well.

I hope this piece satisfies your enquiry.

Yes You can plant onion with seed, water leaves, cucumbers, bell pepper, tomato, aleovera, water melon, letus, carrot, etc. I've done all these before and it was really a blessing eating what i produced myself using buckets and containers due to the fact that there was no planting space around. In fact my neighbors were even benefiting from it better than i did because i traveled a lot. The pictures are just a few, i moved house so i haven't got time to replant

CodeTemplar:
vertically or horizontally? Vertical cut will involve cutting it from the top to bottom but horizontal cut goes sideways (left to right or right to left).

How do u plant oninons

majorgr:


Contrary to the popular belief that onion does not have seeds, it actually does have seeds. Go to any recognize agric store and buy onion seeds, they are really tiny so you'll broadcast them on to the bucket or earth with some mild toppings with soil. Don't wet everyday especially if the soil is still wet to avoid seeds rottening. Wet intermittently when you notice the drying out of the earth

Fo a backyard garden I think your best material to use is empty cement bags,it is free in some areas and the texture of the material will let air in and excess water out,those plastic buckets will be costly and the crops roots will be starved of oxygen,this is a pic of a garden egg and pepper sack farm by my small kids this enforced holidays,it proves that almost any crop can be sack farmed,also sacks are adjustable, if you fill soil to 60%space will be left to contain manure application as time goes on and the folded sack will be unfolded for more manure.

Boombaby:
Pls where can I get improved seeds to plant. Pepper, ball pepper, vegetables, okro in Lagos pls. Thanks

You can do it. I'm currently planning towards that with this thing I stumbled upon on YouTube. You can collect plastic bottles, cut them and hang on walls where they can receive sunlight. Watch this video on YouTube :
