Planning Your Container Garden
Before you even start thinking about pots or plant seletion for your container garden, you need to decide if you want to have your plants inside or outside your home. It’s a common misonception that container gardening is only for indoors or patios, but containers can be very versatile in any garden situation.
Containers are suitable for growing practically any kind of plant, because they offer such great versatility.
If you grow your garden in containers and you need to relocate it later, it’s pretty pain free to do but not so much if you have a traditional garden!
For example, if a storm comes out of nowhere, you can temporarily move the containers to a safer place, like inside or in the garage. With a traditional garden you’re at the mercy of mother nature.
Again, if you see your plants aren’t that healthy because the location you picked gets too much sun or shade, there isn’t much you can do with a typical garden, but you can easily move container plants to a better place.
If you want to have your container garden outside, you need to make sure to select a good spot for it. You’ll want to pick a location that has the proper amount of sunlight for the particular plants you intend to grow, but it also needs to be a location that provides accessibilty. It’s easy to lose interest in caring for your garden especially if it’s several hundred feet from your home!
