Container Gardening is the practice of growing plants in containers, pots and even in wastes like wire baskets and tins is termed as container gardening. There is no need for a vast area of land to plant in flowers and vegetables and it best suits for people living in city with a very small area of living.
Containers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Choosing containers depends upon the location (Area) and the plant. A large container should be selected incase the chosen plant is a tree. Otherwise the containers will not support the development of large roots. Soil aeration and drainage of excess water is the most important consideration in any container planting. First priority being a container gardener should be to ensure that the soil we use are adequately aerated for the life of the planting.
Soil in the containers should contain plenty of organic matter. A heavy clay soil will hold too much of water and will exclude oxygen that roots need for growth. A good brand of potting soil should work well.
Fill the container about four-fifths full of the soil mix. When you water the mix, it will settle and you will have enough room between the top of the container and the top of the soil for adequate water to be poured in each time you water the plants.
