There are so many advantages to container gardening over backyard gardening that I no longer consider digging up my yard.
Container gardening is portable which means if there is a sudden frost or a change in the seasons, the containers can be moved.
Container gardening is also ideal for homeowners or renters that are short on space and time.
The size of container varies on what you'd like to plant.
If you are interested in hanging planters then you can plant one type of vegetable, or fruit, or possibly two herbs (depending on what herbs) in each hanging planter.
If you can afford a small three foot floor space than you can create a blended garden that accommodates organic vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers all in the same container.
As long as you are aware of the importance of what can and cannot be planted together you can grow a complete blended garden in a very small space.
Here are a few areas of container gardening you must be aware of: oWhat can and cannot be planted together.
Some plants are too aggressive and can take over your other plants.
Likewise some plants require more sun than others so it's important to plant accordingly.
oThe location for the right amount of sun.
oPlanting naturally to keep pests away oUsing the right soil.
oAutomated watering systems that can allow you to be "free" from laboring over your container garden oWatering properly oPruning when necessary oDead-heading when necessary And a few other areas.
