An Ordinary Person Seriously Attempts Avocado Cultivation 33 [How to Grow Two Trees in a Small Garden]

It's a bit late, but this is the sequel to the story where a farmer kindly created an avocado seedling of the 'Mexicola' variety for me.

In my garden, I can normally only plant one tree in the ground. And that garden is already occupied by a tree of the 'Bacon' variety.

This time, I'll be talking about what to do with the Mexicola seedling in this small garden with limited space.

1. The Farmer's 'Secret Plan'

I wouldn't ask for a new seedling if I didn't have a prospect for where to grow it. It's only because the farmer told me, 'With this method, you can easily grow another tree in a garden this size without planting it in the ground.'

If you can't plant it in the ground, the root zone is severely restricted. To grow it enough to bear fruit under those conditions...

A large slit pot? No, no, it's not something like that. It's a container with much larger capacity that is easy to move, with excellent breathability and drainage. That is...

A plastic crate! It has a large capacity and is full of holes on the sides! It's the perfect flowerpot for an avocado that needs breathability and drainage.

2. I Tried Planting It Right Away

The farmer also gave me advice on the soil mixture ratio, but since that is the farmer's intellectual property, I will omit the details. Try to guess from the photos (lol).

First, I lay non-woven fabric in the crate and secure it with clothespins.

And then I mix the soil...

Put the mixed soil into the carry, plant the seedling, and it's done!

Now, what kind of growth will this Mexicola show from here on out?
And will it bloom?
Will it even grow properly in the first place?

I would like to observe it with great expectations and a little bit of anxiety.
