    @commando602 I picked it up on craigslist and bolted it on the old metal
    milk can. Ilove the look of the old milk cans and a stool was the perfect
    combo of both items in the garden. Congrats on the new home; the shooting
    drove you out of that sundance place huh? don’t blame ya. Have fun out in
    that new yard!

    @TheVbird420 hey thanks! Don’t be too envious as it’s a lot of work with
    out very short season…high temps wreck havoc on gardens and the winters
    can be extreme as well. I’m envious of So. Cal gardeners, lol seems like
    you can’t go wrong out that way, but I’love it here in the desert…love
    the challenge and trial & error :)

    thanks! but why would you be scared? I don’t use any special fert.’s or
    anything like that, just organic sprays and compost, compost teas that I
    would do to either if they were growing a part from each other. it’s fun :)

    Thats awesome man how long did you put the old tomatoes in there?

  9. ArizonaAdventures February 24, 2014

    @GrowSomethingGreen The citrus was planted around sept./oct., so once the
    weather got a little warmer they took off. I have pile of good soil where
    we add tomatoes all the time. I don’t let it compost per say and kill the
    seeds with heat since I like the look of a wild tomatoe patch thing lol
