Make Container Gardens out of
Recycled Items:
The Container
Search around your house for items that would otherwise be disgarded or visit an antique store, almost anything can serve as a container!
Drill or cut drainage holes in the bottom of the container to avoid root rot
Fill the bottom of large containers with bricks or other recycled items to save on potting soil and compost
Line the sides of metal containers with newspaper to protect roots from the heat
The Plants
Be mindful of the containers used for
vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Toxins can
leach into the plants.
Choose plants with similar needs
(sun exposure, drought tolerant, etc.)
Water regularly! You may need to water
daily in the heat of the summer.
