With the rising popularity of gardening in containers, anyone can have a beautiful garden, no matter how small their space. The rules are much the same as gardening in the ground, but container gardening can be easier, in many ways. Below are the basics to get started (learn more with the full version: Container Basics.pdf) - Container
Selection: Almost any container will work: terra
cotta, glazed or plastic pots, wine barrels, cedar boxes,
metal buckets, even old shoes! The container needs to hold
enough soil for the plants you want, and it must have drainage
holes for excess water to drain. -
Plant Selection: Almost anything can be grown in
a container: trees, shrubs, vines, bamboo, perennials, ferns,
grasses, bulbs, tomatoes, etc. Consider height, color and
texture when you combine plants. Find out more about Trees
for Containers.pdf. - Light: Your
choice of plants, of course, depends on the amount of sunlight
you have. - Soil: For
most plants, use a high quality, general Potting
Soil.pdf. - Watering: Watering
will vary according to individual plants, pot size and weather.
Before adding more water, feel the soil one inch below the
surface with your finger to see if it is dry. -
Fertilizing: Fertilize as needed during the growing
season. - Repotting: Most container plants benefit from repotting every few years. Delivery Services - Call us for up to date information on your delivery needs. |
