How Many Containers A Bag Of Potting Soil - Topic

I truly believe each big plant should have 7 gallons of soil, and not a 15 to 25 gallons amounts. That is ridiculous. Each small plant should have 4 gallons of soil.

On average you will need 50-120 liters pots , you can use a mixture of 50% garden soil & 50% potting soil.

50-120+ liters for 1 tomato

80+ liters for 1 cucumber

120+ liters for 1 watermelon

1 plant per pot

if anyone is interested in a few tips about plants in pots you can check this topic:

As you can see on this picture i used 3x 38L pots for my tomatoes, but these are airpots, it's better to take bigger pots because more soil and so more nutrients.
