41-Container Gardening
With the growing number of the population choosing to live in apartments and condos, many believe that their days of growing beautiful and useful plants is over. Thankfully this doesnt have to be the case. A growing trend among yard less people is the option of container gardening. Just be sure there are sufficient drainage holes in the bottom.
Your growing mixture will largely depend on what type of plants you want to grow. Due to the small space the plants have to thrive in, be sure to the mixture will allow proper drainage. You want the soil to retain moisture, but also drain off to avoid over watering. Check into the growing requirements of your plants to see if any sand should be added to the growing mixture. The right mix of soil and other components is very important in container gardening, fertilizer is a key element. Since the plants only have a limited amount of soil to draw nutrients from it is necessary to help them along. The recommended interval for fertilizing plants is every other time you water. Liquid seaweed is an excellent plant booster, just be sure to provide the plants with a wide variety of nutrients for the best results.
You will find with your container garden that watering is critically important. It may take some time to determine exactly how much and when to water. All plants are different and it is important to know what your plants need. Especially in very hot weather you will find that plants may need to be watered daily.
Container gardening is a rewarding hobby that allows even apartment and city dwellers to enjoy a piece of the great outdoors. Decide what types of plants you want to grow, have your materials ready, and be prepared to reap the rewards of your labor.
