    SOIL Bin vs Bucket

    Hey everyone, I'm 100% new to this but I've been doing some research and had a question. I was considering a stealth box and i bought a fairy good sized bin (28 7/8"L x 19 1/8"W x 21" H)/(73.3cm x 48.6 cm x 53.3 cm) but I saw the guide for space buckets and truly there are a couple of things that poses vs my original idea. On one hand the bucket can really only house one plant at a time, but I estimated this bin could reasonably hold two. On the other hand, a main advantage to bucket is the adjustable height, which will be difficult to do with the bin, though maybe not impossible... I guess the real question is: will that adjustable height outweigh the increased container size and possivility to have two, or is the height of the box too low and bucket is the best choice because of that adjustability?

    I go for cloth pots, one thing to remember is every plant is an individual just as we are. With 1 container you have 1 environment for the roots for all plants, with each plant having its own you have multiply environments for the roots. Each one can be tended as needed for just the one plant.

      one of the first Golden Rules is 'one plant ..one pot'
