If you don’t have soil or want to commit to a full garden then container gardening a great option. This allows you to customize how much time and resources you want to dedicate towards gardening. Many great vegetables will come to fruition nicely in a pot but they will need around 7 hours of sun light. Having a dolly so you can transport the plants into sunlight makes it easy to get started. Check the plants in the morning and water based on their needs.

Key Takeaways:

• Container gardening gives those with no garden or limited outdoor space the opportunity to grow their own vegetables.
• Many vegetables adapt well to container gardening, including, peppers, potatoes, many herbs, and greens.
• Container gardens may have different watering and fertilizing requirements than a traditional vegetable garden.

For those that love to garden, but don’t have enough yard space, container gardening can be a great way to satisfy your green thumb. For window ledges, you can obtain window boxes for both inside, and outside to maximize your space. If you have a wall, you can create a hanging garden using hooks and pots. For those that don’t have the money to buy new pots, you can just reuse old tins or containers that you have laying around the house.

Key Takeaways:

• A vertical display on a wall, fence or shelving is an efficient use of space.
• Drill holes in the bottoms of old tomato or shortbread tins and use them as planters.

You do not need a garden to grow fresh and delicious herbs. All you need is a container and the sunniest spot in front of your home and you are good to go. Containers such as terracotta or even cloth will work, as long as they have drainage holes. Using fresh, organic soil is also ideal. Choosing plants that thrive growing in smaller spaces is also key to fresh and healthy vegetables that taste good. Finally, above all else, it is important to monitor your plants and give them quality care.

Key Takeaways:

• Use potting soil instead of garden soil, as the latter is too heavy and may contain weed seeds or pathogens.
• Soil in containers – especially smaller ones – dries out more quickly than garden soil.
• Dwarf or bush types of vegetables work better in containers than tall or vining plants.

“The nice thing about container gardening is you can easily control the soil conditions and, should any pest problems arise, it’s easier to deal with them on a smaller scale.”
