| I am growing a "Bush Crop" cucumber. It is time to transplant the seedling to its pot. The vegetable guides I've found say the container can be anything between 2 gallons and 10 gallons. Some say it does well on a trellis (but I thought this is a bush??)
The container I've earmarked is about 4 gallons, and I have plans to install a 1/2 gallon water reservoir in the bottom. Do I need a larger container and/or trellis? Thanks. |

| I dont have an answer to your container question but I did however get bush by mistake and have them growing if you want to take a peak. They are probally toward the end of the video. |

| In general, the bigger the container, the better. Container plants are just so much easier to take care of and are so much more productive when grown in BIG containers. 4 gallons isn't all that big. So use the biggest you can afford to fill with mix. Personally I wouldn't use anything less than 7-10 gallons. JMO Dave |
