Green costs ?

Invested RM 15 for a container - RM5 (pictured below), 2 x 7L all-purpose potting soil - RM4/ea and a 7L bag of black soil - RM2, today at the nearby nursery located at Happy Garden (Off Old Klang Rd). 

I just love this kind of "self-watering" container.

Not only that you need not worry about watering so much, it's also much easier to move them around without the saucers / pans that conventional pots/containers need.

hmmph, never shop for your gardening needs from supermarket chain-store unless absolutely no choice!

Just realised that the rectangle container I bought earlier from Carrefour could be had at only RM10.90 from this nursery. However, please note that some nursery do sell at prices same as the supermarkets. Do your hunting (shopping that is) !
Stay tuned, for these will be used to grow the Red Amaranth seeds !

New Container

Bought this container the same time the red amaranth seeds pack was bought.

RM15.90 from Carrefour

Went around the compound of the condo and collected stones that were lying around on the grass patches, fruit tree shades....

    My wife and I armed ourselves with just a 500g cornflake paper box and a plastic bag for each of our right hand. We were amazed a 4/5 full box has more than enough stone to lay for a draining layer on this new container. 

    The brand of this container is Gafri as opposed to Baba (cheaper too for the same size) which I'm pretty sure every container gardener in Malaysia will gripe about the lack of brand choices and in turn design choices + pricing...
