I had a friend ask me last week, how to figure out how much soil she would need for her big pots on her deck. For a moment I was like a deer in head lights... I know that answer but it seems every year I have to figure it out all over again. Different hats, different times of the year.
Fortunately the Coast of Maine Co. has a calculator to help with this project. We love this company; organic, high quality products and a really cool crew to work with. So thanks C of M, for the tool that helps us all!

The other thing I suggested to my friend, was to not fill the whole pot up with soil. Wait?.. What?...
She was thinking she needed to fill these really large pots, all the way to the top with soil, which can be expensive, especially when you have 4 of them!
So whats a girl (or a guy....) to do? Enter - Ups A Daisy!
These handy dandy little, flat, orange, discs don't look like much, but when you place them in a pot and it fits snugly about half way down, Voila! You now have less space to fill! Certain plants like annuals, herbs and such don't have deep root systems so this works perfectly in a big pot! If however you...

are planting a tree or a shrub into a pot, you would not want to use something like this, They need the room for their feet to spread. I, uh, personally know how they feel. My momma always told me, my big feet will keep me from blowin over in the wind. I'll take that as a positive, and so will your plants!
Like it says above, we have truck loads of nursery stock arriving every day. We have some cold hardy annuals/vegetables here too. It is still a little early for most perennials and annuals..... she says chomping at the bit.... But a small selection of Proven Winners have landed in our large greenhouse... patience my dears, soon will be the time.

Come the dog days you may be hot, sticky, and over it, but by choosing perennials that are low-maintenance with long bloom seasons, your garden will still be happily flowering well into fall.
