i am planning 2 grow some plants in 10 & 15 gall smart pots. i,m looking to get all the good advice i can get from folks who have used these pots and know about them. i will be using them out in the country, i live in a hot southern state so i,ll have to be hauling water to them. i,m thinking of using polymer crysyals in my grow mix to help retain water at least during the hottest months. i,m interested in soil mixes, how often,about, they need to be watered, what to use other than wire to keep deer and cows away. i,m doing all my research now on what i need and how to use what i need. i will be very thankful for yur knowledge on this issue. i guess u can post 2 me in this forum or email me at____bonedaddy_tx@yahoo.com_______. peace and stay green.
