We use Miracle-Gro Potting Soil in all our containers. We have enjoyed great success with a wide variety of plants using this soil.

I put dirt and miracle grow plant potting soil. I grew tomatoes and other herbs. Hope this helps.

I like to elevate the plastic containers (5 gal plastic containers) off the floor (especially concrete) with strips of wood. It should be a cool and as dry as possible. If you have packets of food (loose) it is best to place them in 5 gal plastic buckets and seal them up with covers (lids). A steady moderate temperature is best... cooler is better. Any soft packing will need to be protected from bugs and rodents....they will try to chew into the packets. Take care.

In the bottom metal part, do not over fill, use about 1/2 inch. Also go on line and ask for directions.

Use a polypropylene style drum since those are easily found in unused and food grade quality unlike the steel ones. Also try and keep it out of the sun. The make a larger version of this product that would be just right for treating such water so it will not develop slime, etc. over it's storage period. You can also use bleach but the water will taste more like a swimming pool and if you are just doing 1 drum while you decide. When you get around to using it I would still send it through a filter unless you are just watering plants so you can refresh the supply.

You could use bricks in the sand anchors instead of sand, or plastic water bottles filled with water or sand. Anything heavy that will fit in the anchor bag will do.

While I m not a professional on the subject I would suggest a spray paint that is compatible with the material. Prep the surface as needed and spray as desired using caution as not to clog the openings. Good luck.

keep air out, even a little can turn it into a brick. It is recommended to put stones or other objects into the container to displace the air inside the container.

I had a plastic bucket from wheat I bought from another company. I put them in that. You could probably use a large tupperware container or flour canister.

I put an additive into both of my vehicles. I used to use a plastic funnel and spilled more than what got in. This Behrens funnel bends to where you need it. I'd suggest that if you're going to fill something using a 5 gallon can (which I have not experienced) that you have someone there to hold the funnel in place. Safety first! Hope this helps.

It is not very easy to fill, I used a funnel and that helped. I also worried it was not quite heavy enough so i bought a small sand bag and just set it on top of the base and that makes it very stable.

My grandson loves this truck and it's huge. We haven't put water in it yet, but as soon as the weather allows, he'll be outside making cement out of mud. While water alone might seep out, I think something of a thicker consistency will work fine. The idea of using rice or bird seed is a good one too, as long as it's going to remain dry.

It was pretty simple to fill. I just poured the peppercorns in, didn't spill too many. I imagine a small funnel would work if the size was big enough to accommodate the peppercorns.

I've had my container for a couple of years now and still has the same consistency as when I opened it. It's about the same as consistency as a container of heavy grease. If you want it thinner just add water, you have a lifetime supply to experiment with , thick or thin. I hope this helps you out, it's good stuff.

I'm not sure but would think the polymer would be a better idea. You can get it thinner, I think , than the other clay. This clay can easily crack while the polymer has some flexibility to it. Since canvas is also flexible, I'd go with the polymer.

I buy the material in bulk directly from CR Spotless. They run deals every now and then that include free shipping. It's easy to re-fill the original canister and more economical.

Be sure to only fill halfway. Pump the heck out of it in the beginning. It takes a few times to get the pressure to build. It will never be as fine as an aerosol

I use a funnel and they are quite easy to fill. You can also place the base of the bag inside a short cup or jam jar to help hold it in place as it fills. They are so wide and end up so huge we only fill them halfway now, and unfortunately everyone says it looks like my kids are sucking on condoms- so that is an awkward observation. I will be purchasing the narrower bags next time for those reasons and because they'd be more kid friendly.
