Container salad garden

If you live in a town house, apartment with a balcony, or just don't want to mess with a large garden, container gardening might be for you.
In this movie I give a brief overview of this kind of gardening. This is just one way you can have a little home grown vegetables without all the weeding of a larger garden. You can plant all kinds of vegetables, herbs or you can plant flowers or even a combination of all or some. I hope that you will try a container garden.
If you don't have the dirt you can use top soil that comes in bags at home improvement stores or most places that sell gardening supplies. Get yourself a good compost for the top 6 to 8 inches and mix it in well. Then plant your plants or seeds and enjoy. Once you harvest your vegetables and have them with dinner all this work will be worth it. Remember to water your new container garden about every 3 days. Keep an eye on how the soil drys out or if it stays moist, if the plants start to wilt it is time for more water. You will need to add a plant food about every 2 to 3 weeks to help the plants grow strong.
I will add more on this container garden as it grows.
Until next time


Happy planting – growing
