Container gardens require more frequent watering than your average on the ground garden, due to the exposed sides of the containers resulting in more evaporation. Plastic containers do not dry out as quickly as ceramic, especially unglazed ceramic pots.
Container gardening can be a very rewarding experience as it is possible to grow beautiful plants and vegetables all year round without too much maintenance. There are many different plants and vegetables that can be trellised to minimize the risk of pest invasion.
When planting seeds, use a 6-inch pot. The plants should be about 1 inch apart over the entire surface area. Bring a list of plants you like and those you don't like to the nursery and get advice on what is best for container gardening. Planter boxes, hanging baskets, wooden barrels, and large flowerpots are just some of the containers that can be used.
As you can see there is a large range of ideas for designing a container garden.
