  1. Benedict T. Palen, Jr – Learn How To Do Container Gardening And Yield More Vegetables Container gardening is a simple way to grow vegetables, particularly when you need yard space! If you have a small garden or just a patio, balconies, or rooftop, explore the mysterious world of gardening in containers!

  2. Benedict T. Palen, Jr – Learn How To Do Container Gardening And Yield More Vegetables • Guidelines for Container Gardening • Get bigger pots • Large plants need lots of space, and most roots need room to develop. Avoid small containers as they often cannot store adequate water to get through hot days. Plus, the larger your container, the more plants you can grow! You can use wooden barrels, baskets, buckets, bath- and other tubs, boxes, and troughs—anything that can hold soil. Just be sure that it has drainage holes in the base.

  3. Benedict T. Palen, Jr – Learn How To Do Container Gardening And Yield More Vegetables • Care Tips for Container Gardening with Vegetables • Clay pots are more attractive than plastic ones, but plastic pots hold on to moisture better and would not dry out as fast as terra-cotta ones. To get the best of both, place a plastic pot into a slightly larger clay pot. • Black pots absorb heat when they placed in the sun. • Plants that grow in pots should be watered at least twice a day. To keep plants adequately cool and moist during hot summer days, place a small pot within a larger one and fill the space between them with crumpled newspaper or sphagnum moss. When watering the plant, also immerse the filler amid the pots. • Hanging baskets make good use of additional space, and herbs, strawberries, and cherry tomatoes grown at eye level can be simply harvested.

  4. Benedict T. Palen, Jr – Learn How To Do Container Gardening And Yield More Vegetables • Add about 1 inch of coarse gravel in the underneath of containers to develop drainage. • Vegetables that can be transplanted are ideal for containers. Transplants can be purchased from local nurseries or started at home. • Feed container plants at least twice a month with liquid fertilizer, following the instructions on the label. • An occasional application of fish emulsion or compost will include trace elements to container soil. • Place containers where they will get maximum sunlight and excellent ventilation.

  5. Benedict T. Palen, Jr – Learn How To Do Container Gardening And Yield More Vegetables • Plants in containers require the most excellent soil, ventilation, and drainage for healthy root growth and maximum harvest. Do not use soil from the garden: It is too weighty, can become drenched, and brings insects and disease with it. Select instead a soilless mix or use compost, only or combined with a soilless mixture. To keep vegetable plants growing, feed them natural soil amendments, such as liquid seaweed, manure tea, or fish emulsion weekly. To ensure growth, vegetables need moist soil time and again.

  6. Benedict T. Palen, Jr – Learn How To Do Container Gardening And Yield More Vegetables For supplies, you only need a good container, the right soil mix, and suitable seed varieties. In addition to offering five hours or more of full sun, watering is vital. As explained above, you may require watering daily or twice daily; in hot weather as the soil can dry off fast. Benedict T. Palen, Jr., has thirty years of knowledge working in management, operations, and agricultural investments. Right now, Benedict T.
