Jeez, 2 years without comments?? Let me be the first to thank you for this, man. Did you use fertilizer or other nutrients? Because I'm stupefied about how those crops grew with that little bit of soil.
The most important thing is to keep the soil moist, but you have to feed container plants with something. You can use a potting soil mix with fertilizer in it, and that may be all you need. The plants will only be in there a couple of months. You could use an organic fertilizer or compost tea. It only takes a wee bit because the pot is so small. I used old fashioned Miracle Grow (blue crystals) mixed to about 1/3rd strength, and I used it to water about once every three weeks. It's a high-nitrogen fertilizer, but that's Ok since I'm not looking for flowers or fruit. Good Luck!
