Short on
C
space?
ontainer gardening is a great solution when you don’t have
the yard space for a big garden. Tomatoes, carrots, lettuce
and cucumbers are just a few of the many vegetables that
can thrive in containers. A container can be almost anything — a
pot, a tub, a storage container — as long as it has holes for drainage. You can even use a container that matches your patio decor to
incorporate your garden into your landscape.
The same general rules apply to container gardening as do general
gardening, but there are some things to consider. It is best to plant
your container where you want it to stay because it will be very
heavy after it is planted. Also, layer the bottom of the container with
rocks or chipped wood to allow drainage without losing soil.
When planting in a container, it is imperative
to use good soil and a time-release fertilizer, both of which can be found
at United Ag.
After planting, water your
entire container and cover
the topsoil with pine cones,
chipped wood, pebbles,
or anything that will help
keep your soil moist.
Good luck and happy
gardening!
