I use "Dirt Pots" bought at my local Agway. They are a fabric pot ranging from 3 - 15 gal. I use both 7 and 10 gal. They have zero weight, allow for excellent draining and tend to stay at whatever the temp and climate outside is. Meaning they will get soaked when it rains, but they dry out with the surroundings as well, unlike a 5 gal bucket. I don't go into the ground because I tend my plants often and can move them with the sun, out of puddles, off the ground and even hide them from surprise guests if need be. I'm using Black Gold Organic soil with plenty of perlite, and Fox Farm nutes, but rather sparingly. I get sun all day long, like literally from sunrise to sunset, and with some early training they don't need a whole lot. If you haven't started seeds yet you are way behind though. Like I said I have plants a foot tall already. Honestly mold will be your biggest issue due to our ****** humidity. The gate and fence needs to be 6 feet tall, with a lock, so whatever meets those criteria is really all you need. Honestly unless you are caregiving I don't think you need to worry about house visits.
