Book excerpt: Do you want to learn how to grow plants using containers, companion planting and vertical gardening.? If yes, then keep reading... Some things truly never change. While growing up, we heard our parents constantly preaching to us about eating our fruits and vegetables. As adults, we thought we were rid of those annoying lectures. We never dreamed the responsibility of lecturing us on this importance of these foods was subsequently turned over to our doctor. After decades of having this thought drilled into our heads, we should have realized by now that maybe, just maybe, they knew what they were talking about. Still, with today's hectic schedules being crammed with more activities than ever before, it remains next to impossible to have enough of the good stuff on hand as well as the time to convert it all over to a well-balanced diet. While nothing can be done to slow down the sands of time, there is plenty that can be done about making fruits and vegetables readily available to us. If we have our own garden, it only stands to reason that we would be more likely to consume those foods, right? But there are some major problems that many want-to-be gardeners face. One: lack of space. Two: the know-how to till and prepare the soil for a garden. Three: the equipment to make it all come together. The solution? Container gardening. Container gardening does not require tilling, digging or weeding. So, if you don't like getting too dirtied or muddied, this is the best way to grow plants. It requires less tools, supplies and materials. Thus, it's more economical compared to regular gardening that requires tools such as spades, mower, rake or greenhouses. This book covers Advantages of Growing Plants in Containers Container Garden Design Which Plants Do Well in Containers The Right Pots for Your Plants Growing Strategies Best Choices in Seeds Maintenance Tactics And Much More Growing vegetables in container gardens adds aesthetic values to your living area. Some vegetables are not only edible but also ornamental. It is a great way of decorating your living area by arranging the plants and containers as you would a flower bouquet. With the right combination of plants, varying styles, size and color of the containers, you can add a versatile and original style to your house. Growing vegetables in container gardens produces fresh and nutritious food and improves both your mental and physical health. It is a good recreation activity and the entire process of plating, growing and harvesting is very fulfilling. It also helps in increasing your biological, environmental and herbal knowledge that is useful for a healthy lifestyle. Why go to all of the trouble when you can visit your supermarket and pick up anything you want? Because there are many advantages to growing your own food. Some people might be skeptical at the thought of growing their own food. Don't let the thought of being responsible for supplying many of your own vegetables sway your decision. This is actually a good thing. Once you recognize the many benefits that having your own garden has to offer, you will be on board. Despite what you may believe, gardening is not that hard. Yes, it requires a certain measure of your time and a few resources, but in the end, what you reap will more than pay you back for what time and energy you have invested. Ready to get started?

Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Container Plants written by Ray Rogers and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Container gardening is ideally suited to today’s lifestyles—it provides the excitement, versatility, and variety of in-the-ground gardening to those with limited space, time, and resources. But in order to make the most of container gardening, aspiring gardeners—whether rank beginners or seasoned veterans—need to know precisely which plants perform best in containers; just as importantly, they need to know how to grow them well. Author Ray Rogers is the ideal guide to this world of colorful possibilities. An award-winning container gardener and horticulturist, he profiles more than 500 outstanding plants in 180 genera. Along with Rogers’s engaging descriptions, the entries include each plant’s height and spread; light, moisture, temperature, and soil requirements; ease and rate of growth; principal interest and design attributes; potential problems; and best method of propagation. To this abundance of useful information, Rob Cardillo’s stunning photographs add a wealth of visual inspiration. Success with container gardening isn’t always instantly achieved—it’s easy to be seduced by brightly flowering plants at a nursery or garden center that turn out to be unsuited to the growing conditions provided for them, or that make poor companions for their pot-mates. Even a brief dip into this authoritative reference, however, is sure to yield a host of plants that will show just how spectacular a well-grown—and carefully chosen—container garden can be.

Download or read book The Container Garden Month by Month written by Jackie Bennett and published by David & Charles. This book was released on 1997-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoy colorful plants every month of the year, indoors or out, with this valuable handbook that organizes container gardening in a simple seasonal progression. Each of the twelve chapters shows half a dozen or more plants in numerous variations that will bloom most effectively in a given month, as well as how and when to plant and care for them. Because container gardens are self-contained, you can grow acid-loving plants in an alkaline area, shady plants in a sunny climate, and warm-weather plants in cold parts of the country -- the choices of plants are much greater than for conventional gardening, and the tips offered here show you how to make the most of these advantages. The containers themselves add much to the charm, as you can select from a wide variety of pots, hanging baskets, and window boxes, or use your imagination to make your own containers from almost anything that will hold dirt and filter water. Full-color photos show you dramatic plantings for each month.
