The propagator I&#8217;m building today host 35 plants. I expect it should be perfect for about the month and a half needed before the plants move outdoors into their big planters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use the flat 7 gallon tubs that are made to store things under a bed or in a closet. Most of the roots hang straight down so things don&#8217;t get too tangled and transplanting is as simple as pulling the pots out of the tub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole build is pretty much done with a 2&#8243; hole saw and a power drill. I use a drill press because I have one but of course you can use a hand drill too.  Lay out a grid that works with your container and make the holes.  I have a deburring tool that I use to clean up the edges of the holes but hitting them quickly with sandpaper works too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/timgrows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PXL_20230326_161239753-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"finished propagator tub\" class=\"wp-image-99\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PXL_20230326_161239753-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/timgrows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PXL_20230326_161239753-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/timgrows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PXL_20230326_161239753-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/timgrows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PXL_20230326_161239753-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/timgrows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PXL_20230326_161239753-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">35 site propagator tub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to make a simple tub that grows a lot of plants in a small area. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":153,"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98\/revisions\/153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/timgrows.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
