For anyone that is thinking about having a garden tower, John from Growing Your Greens made this great video to show us how to make the potting soil that you need to fill the tower with. He adds so many things that will make what ever is grown in the tower super nutritious. He adds multiple rock dusts so that the plants can get loads of vitamins and minerals as well as compost and other things. Its a long video but it shows how light and airy the soil should be and he shows how to plant it as he fills it.
For the frugal and ambitious Half Pint Homestead even has a video out that shows how to make the garden tower. This is a pretty cool tutorial on making your own garden barrel with a worm composter in the middle. Its a long video but if you want to make these it is worth the watch because she is very thorough with the instructions. I like that, so many of the things I would like to make don’t have detailed instructions or maybe not detailed enough for me any ways. Half pint homestead shows you every single step of the process.
