A Short Guide To Gardening Using Garden Pots

Sounds easy enough – take a few garden pots, add a couple of plants, keep them watered and give them sunlight. Actually, it really is that simple. Not only that, gardening in pots is a very versatile and inexpensive way to garden. You don’t have to have a big yard or a wealth of knowledge and experience to develop your own container garden. But, if you want to give your container garden a better chance of success, there are a few pointers that can help you with this wonderful hobby.

First, I think its best to start off small and work your way up. I’m not just talking about the plants, I’m talking about the pots. You may want to move your plants around (which is a big advantage of container gardening) and if you have a big pot that is already heavy, add a bunch of soil and water, and you’ll have quite a hard time relocating it anywhere.

In the bottom of the pot, there should be a hole in the middle for water to drain out. This is important so water won’t sit in the pot and basically drown your plants. There isn’t any place for the water to go in such small containers so stop watering as soon as you see any water starting to come out the bottom.

Now that you are ready to plant, make sure that you don’t put too many in your pot. As a rule of thumb, group like plants in the same pot. In other words, plants that require the same amount of water or sunlight will grow better if they are in the same pot.

You should always be open to experimentation. Sure, you may not get the desired results you were looking for right off the bat, but don’t be afraid to lose a few plants in the process. Container gardening not only makes a dull space more interesting and beautiful, but it also is a lot of fun and very rewarding.
