Container GARDENING
Getting started:
The first step is to select an appro-priate container. A drain hole is a must and after that just about anything goes. Containers come in plastic, wood, fiberglass, iron, cement, stone and more. Extra work is needed to keep smaller contain-ers watered as plants grow, while larger containers allow you to use a more diverse selection of plants,
and are easier to keep moist.
Always use a light growing medium (soilless mix). This allows water to flow easily and provides the roots with sufficient air. Most commercially available mixes are a blend of peat moss, vermiculite and perlite. Some brands incorporate fertilizer into the mix, while others add a polymer, which expands and retains moisture. Do not use garden soils that are too heavy and
may contain weed seeds. If using a large container, fill the bottom third to half with a less expensive ingredient such as pine mulch. Most annuals will survive quite well in 30 cm (12”) of soil.
Know the light conditions of the spot where you intend to place the container. Most annuals will not do well in heavy, all-day shade, while shade loving annuals don’t like sun at the peak of the day, but do very well with some morning or late afternoon sun.
In May, newly planted containers may require water-ing every two to four days, As the plants establish,
increasing in size and filling the contain-ers with heavier roots, watering needs will increase. Water thoroughly each time you water. It may be necessary to water daily, particularly in the summer and especially those containers that are 30 cm (12”) or smaller. Over
Containers allow you to
bring the garden to the
deck, patio, steps, driveway
or the front entranceway.
By using hanging
containers, colour can be
added to sheds, garages — any
place you can mount a bracket!
