Small Container Gardening
When it comes to growing your own food, you really don’t need a backyard or green space to do it. You can still raise fresh, nutritious, homegrown vegetables in sturdy, simple containers.
Container gardening can be done on a windowsill, patio, balcony, doorstep, or any space that will provide sufficient sunlight.
Almost any type of container can be used for growing vegetables. Simple containers include buckets, baskets, tubs, or wooden boxes, or you can get creative and plant in shoes, recycled sinks, and bathtubs, or even a kiddie
After you’ve chosen containers appropriate to the vegetables you plan to grow, and placed your containers in the warmest sunniest spot you can find, you will need to choose a suitable growing medium. A good growing medium will hold water and provide adequate nutrients and physical support to grow healthy plants.
