Container Gardening Made Simple
Container gardening does not have to be an expensive undertaking, with the buying of new containers. Use what you have on hand to grow a container garden in.
Any container that is water proof and study enough to hold soil can be used as a container for container gardening.
Yogurt cups, cottage cheese cups, old buckets, old tires and trash cans will work great in container gardens.
The depth of the container much match the plant you wish to grow, obviously a yogurt cup will not work for growing potatoes, but a couple of old tires works perfect.
Hanging flower baskets are great for growing tomatoes, strawberry pot are perfect for growing herbs.
Look around at what you have before you spend money on containers. For container gardening, the money is better spent on a high quality soil mixture.
Don’t forget to make drainage holes in the bottom of whatever containers you use and use your imagination for your container garden.
