Got a bunch of free seedlings from DUG and set up a little garden on my roof. I built this elevated planter myself and filled it with 50/50 finished compost and screened topsoil, same with the buckets. It’s about 8x3x1. In the planter are a bunch of different peppers, an eggplant, onions and marigolds. The buckets have tomatoes, tomatillos and cucumbers. The last 3 brown pots have a Serrano pepper and herbs, and I’m pretty confident that they’ll do well.

I know these are probably planted too close together but wood and dirt is expensive.

Do I need to get a shade cloth? When do I fertilize?
Is watering everyday excessive with that much compost even with sufficient drainage?

Also thinking about ripping out that little bell pepper stem and putting in beets or something but it’s been less than a week and might bounce back who knows.
