hey everyone.
I just got a new greenhouse to fit in my tiny back yard and its the first time i will be growing my own veggies.
i need some help with the planters, how deep do they need to be? i have tomatoes, peppers, herbs, broccoli, artichoke and cauliflower.
also i was wondering what can i recycle and use as planters instead of buying plastic ones. is empty coke bottles a good idea?
thanks for your help!

How big is the greenhouse? I'm curious!

I guess you're talking about recycling stuff that you already buy? If you're talking about plastic coke containers, like liter bottles, you can probably cut them in half and plant seeds in them and then transplant. You can do the same with milk jugs. To start seeds you can use cup size containers and replant more often if you want.
