since last year i had been planning to do an experiment with a square foot garden. 10 inch by 10 inch plot. i bought a square foot grow bag and a while a go got 2 bags of potting soil. i put the seeds into today and the whole thing is living in a spot in my apartment bed room. i have a plastic container under the gro bag in case the bag decides to leak. i also added the water. will be watering once or twice aweek.

You should know that the taller the plant the deeper the root goes and curling roots at the bottom will stunt the overall height/growth.

Just sayin
