Gardening with Planters & Window Boxes
Important elements for a project of this type are containers, soil and plants. You can use almost any size container, provided it is large enough to contain the root ball of the plant with room to grow. Do not try to cheat and grow your plants in a container which is only just big enough to hold, believe me, this is not good in the long term.
Make sure there is at least one or two inches of space to earth. The only thing you want to remember is that the smaller pot, the more often it will need to be watered. Be especially careful to keep an eye on small pots in sunny places. You can be flexible depending on the type of container you use too.
It's fun to search for items to recycle than plants. Decorated cans of instant coffee, old pots or bowls, or even an old kitchen sink can become a home for plants. If you are looking for large pottery or terra cotta pots, glazed pots are better for holding moisture. However, if you're willing to water more often, pots unglazed terracotta are beautiful to watch and inexpensive.
Many plants can adapt well to life in a container. Dwarf shrubs or fruit trees such as limes, blueberries or oranges, can be wonderfully in containers with the right attention and care. Bamboos and grasses are hardy, easy maintenance and look great in a large pot. You imagination is the limit of what you can do with a container garden.
However, do ask your nursery for advice on species and varieties are good for containers. If a dwarf orange tree will do well in a pot, a size of a foot. The type of soil you use in your container is very important. Do not you dig the dirt from your garden, it has to dry and compact when used as compost. I found that compost works well, but most people do not recommend the use of real soil.
Either can be found at the nursery or at most hardware stores. Soil is specially formulated to retain moisture and keep its structure in a confined space. It is very important for the health of your plant. Container gardening is relatively easy, they just have special needs.
You will need your water container plants as often as if they were planted in the ground. A pot, whatever the size, it is a lot less water retention capacity of the soil in the ground, there is simply less space. Be especially careful to check on your containers often hot containers, particularly small ones, can quickly dry heat.
If you have a good drainage of the pots (more than ceramic or terra cotta have a hole in the bottom), it is difficult to overwater. However, a good rule of thumb is to only water once the soil is dry more than one inch deep. It is relatively easy to check this with your finger.
