Why you should consider container gardening?

Container gardening is not just for those who live on limited space. It is also for those with ample space to grow plants and vegetables. There are several reasons why you should consider container gardening.

You can grow on containers regardless of the season. You can easily move containers to get ample sunlight. You can’t get this benefit from a traditional garden. Weed and disease control are other advantages with container gardening. Insect damage is also less with containers. It is also easier to maintain moisture that is much needed for growing plants and vegetables.

One big disadvantage is that containers are unable to support large trees. However, you can use dwarf varieties such as citrus.

Containers come in various colors and size, and made of many different materials for appearance, durability and ease of move. You can use container plants to enhance entrances to your home, patio, pool and decks. You can also grow edible plants on containers. Your favorite vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, celery, tomatoes as well as rosemary, basil and oregano will grow happily on containers.

Create your own mix of plants and enjoy container gardening all throughout the year.
