Container Gardening
Container gardening is a popular gardening technique where you grow flowers and vegetables in pots and planters rather than in the ground.
One of the biggest benefits of container gardening is that you can grow in places you normally wouldn’t be able to grow anything. Spaces like your deck, front porch, balcony, patio, or even on the driveway if that’s the only sunny spot that you have.
Growing plants in pots is also the perfect solution if you’re dealing with poor quality garden soil, or a yard with limited space.
Plus container gardening makes pest, disease, and weed control much easier, and helps to conserve water as well. It also makes fertilizing a cinch, because you can give each plant the exact nutrients it needs to grow its best.
