Where the climate was unfavorable, or the soil or water was scarce, containers made it possible to satisfy that desire. Container gardening is ideal when space is limited. It is a technique which permits plant materials to be moved around easily, to be changed or renewed as desired and to be enjoyed at close range.
Plantings can be as simple or as elaborate as space, inclination, taste and funds permit.
By its exposure, the container garden site will dictate grow successfully and how to arrange the plants. Construct a screen, either of louvers or lattice, or a trellis on which to grow appropriate vines to reduce light and wind. Container Selection Having decided where to place the plants, consider the selection of containers. All should have drainage holes in the bottom. Old kettles, jugs and crocks make interesting containers, and boxes built in various sizes can be stacked in intriguing combinations.
